    Mental note: never spear fish, surf, body board, scuba dive, swim in the morning, evening, in cloudy water, muddy water, in deep water, in chest deep water, in waist deep water, snorkel, look for abalone, swim near rocky outcroppings, near seals, or where people fish.

    When my twin daughters were 12, we had a family trip to Hawaii. They wanted to learn to surf, so I contacted a surf school and off we set with a class. They were so far out at this beach to catch where the waves break, that I couldn’t even see them. If I had known then what I’ve learned from your channel, they would still be begging me to let them go!

      Same in the Caribbean with me. On vacation I would enjoy a daily morning swim out to a marker bouy from the beach. The resort staff would insist that there were NO sharks in those waters. They would say that because they don't want to scare the tourists off. I learned THAT from this channel. Now I never trust what people in the tourism industry say.👍

      We used to take our kids (elementary aged) snorkeling quite a ways off of the Keys and never thought much if it. Why? Because the snorkeling company said they don’t have sharks in that area, and we foolishly believed it. Thankfully we never saw anything very scary, but I surely wouldn’t repeat that nowadays.

    The attack at Puamana in 1980 was out in front of the Puamana pool, and is just a couple miles north of Olawalu where the woman was attacked and eaten by a Tiger shark a little over ten years later. The reef at Puamana is shallow out to the surf break, about 30/40 yards from shore as you mentioned, and then drops off to deeper water.

I was working on a house near the beach in Kailua in 2010 and we saw a 12ft Tiger about 20ft from some rocks biting 3 turtles in half just for fun and then swimming off.A couple of years later a swimmer had their leg bitten off just around the bend at Lanikai and I wasn't surprised.That beach gets real busy with kids every weekend.

    Your shows are great because they show people just how unpredictable these animals can be. Most people will never even SEE a shark, let alone be attacked by one, but it pays to always be aware of what's around you in the water. We are not on their usual menus, and they will usually keep their distance from people. But, these shows of yours give us things to watch out for, or not do certain behaviors or actions in the water that would bring us to a nearby shark's attention, and possibly an exploratory bite. We are responsible for our personal safety when swimming in the ocean, and knowing about how we act can mean the difference between a great vacation, or a terrible tragedy. These shows of yours show us how to stay safe. Thanks!

And all the people that still swim near piers where people are fishing…..not the smartest thing to do.

    Hal , the Midnight Lump where Kurt Bickel had his lucky day is not near Mexico , unless it moved . It is off the Louisiana coast ,approximately 38 miles out. It's in the Gulf of Mexico but nowhere near Mexico. It's a great spot for Yellowfin in the fall /winter. The Lump is basically a bump underwater, it's the top of a salt dome the seafloor goes from 400 -600 feet to 200 feet, there's an upwelling of nutrients and going from deep to relatively shallow it attracts fish ,especially when the mullet migrate from inshore to offshore , all of the predators come to feast.

    I used to live in Florida and eventually I moved to California. I thought I might get into surfing a bit. I knew that Florida and California had around the same number of shark attacks per year. On a given weekend in Florida you may have half a million people wading in the ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. When I got to California I discovered that the number of people swimming was around zero. This basically means every person who goes in the water gets attacked eventually. I do not go in the ocean in California.

    The dive board sounds sketchy and probably leaks blood?! After my encounter with a shark with fish blood in the water, I modernized my technique with a galvanized wash tub and a car inner tube with a poly line anchoring system to a 3 pound lead weight for an anchor. Using scuba gear I was spearing the parrot fish and placing those along with a couple of lobsters quickly to the surface fearing the fish blood in the water all the time even though the wash tub contained it. That night was a very strong off shore wind with a setting quarter phase moon into the West, and that is the best moon for lobster fishing as they use the darkness to march and are out in the open on the reef. I speared one last parrot fish and was nearly out of air but only working in 35 foot deep water.... no biggie! When I surfaced to discover my catch bucket was missing since the strong wind caused my poly line to chafe on the reef and break free. So here I am with a bleeding parrot fish on my sling and no bucket to put it in?!! As I searched in the setting moon light I now spotted my gear blown well of shore and that appeared to be a couple of hundred yards out now. I didn't want to lose my gear and catch so I put a small amount of air in my buoyancy control vest, flipped over on my back with the fish on the spear out of the water and headed out into the setting moonlight and my floating bucket of blood!! lol by the time I reached it I was now 600 yards off shore. However, being a strong swimmer I managed to swim on the surface towing my fish and blood containment system through the 30-40 mph off shore wind back to safety. Fatigued I considered jettisoning my dive gear and catch but perseverance prevailed. More "what were you thinking" events to follow!🙏🤷🏻

    Another good show! I don't often pause the screen on the newspaper clippings, but it did say that that swimmer was later surrounded by her husband and the other swimmers which the shark did not try to attack them directly. It says a helicopter dropped dye into the water to read the tide but the following morning police officers found some of her remains washed up on shore. Great shows, Hal, keep it up! I wonder how many lives this channel has saved by you bringing awareness of shark attacks, brother! 💝🦈 I appreciate your passion for sharks and people when you tell these stories.

    I never want to learn to scuba dive, or do ANY type of open ocean swimming. But I’ve been a water lover since I could walk, due to the number of family vacations to FL, Hawaii, western Mexico, and the Caribbean. If I go to a beach, I’m in the water. I’ve lived on the upper Texas coast for over 40 years (nasty murky water and nasty brown sand beaches, so you can’t even see your feet in 3-4’ of water) and I know it’s bull shark heaven, but I can’t stop myself. There’s always that little bit of fear, but the sheer joy of being in the water pushes it out of my head🤷‍♀️

    I live near Tahtra and dive there often, the wharf was famous for its shark fishing before the Council banned it in the early 90’s.
    The water here is quite deep, close to 12m only metres off the shore, seals are common there too, as are rays and fish carcasses from the folk fishing on the wharf. They had the annual ‘wharf to waves’ swim only recently.

    The reason people don't feel the teeth when the just have pressure is that nerves can only carry one type of painful sensation, so the pressure blocks the other sensations out.
    It's one of the clever tricks in medicine and nursing to pinch the skin around an injection site, the patient just feels a squeeze.
    I was always the Nurse they wanted to have for their injections on the ward. The human body is fascinating.
    Very cold water can do the same.
    My partner has 2x injections every day, he's a former Nurse, too and the Nurses who do his use that method. Amazing.

    The Linda Mar Beach attack surprisingly didn't injure the spear fisher, only the swim fin was bitten off. Many of California's shark attacks have been attributed to the Great White Shark, especially in the Red Triangle. Here's a recap of fatal attacks in that region you covered, not including the Alcatraz escape.
    Barry Wilson - Pacific Grove, north of Monterey
    December 7, 1952
    White shark, 12 feet long
    Albert Kogler, Jr. - Baker Beach, San Francisco County
    May 7, 1959
    Length of shark: 10 feet long
    Lewis Boren - South Moss Beach, Spanish Bay, Monterey County
    December 19, 1981
    White shark, 23 feet long
    Omar Conger - Pigeon Point, San Mateo County
    September 15, 1984
    White shark, 16 feet long
    You did cover the largest non-fatal attack on Jack Rochette in that region. The white shark you mentioned in that one was 7 to 8 meters (22 to 26 feet) long. Had shark gone for the meatier areas of Rochette, he would have been done.

    Why would you swim such a distance in the sea. I'm a fisherman and I know if you drag a lure on the surface something is gonna hit it. It's exactly what you're doing swimming on the surface. The Mozambique attacks were 3 if I remember correctly. Woman got attacked in the buttocks and died in hospital and then later another fisherman actually lost both arms.
