Tips & Warnings
Go on a cage dive tour if you want to swim with sharks. The cage protects you from shark attacks. Make sure the cage is strong and that the shark is unable to get in.
Too many people free dive with sharks and get lulled into a false sense of security of not getting attacked. Sharks can be unpredictable, so use caution when swimming with them.
Avoid swimming with the sharks if you have cuts, scratches or other chances to possibly bleed.
