I use a wetsuit. It has stopped any sharks from eating me. I use it often and I don't often see any sharks.

It also stops giant octopuses from eating me. I thought I saw one once but it was just seaweed.

Ive been using wetsuits for years and I'm still alive. Highly recommended.

Learn to gybe , Dont fall in and follow elmo around.

The hard part is retrieving his gear afterwards but the shark should be well fed by then.

Peeing your pants does not help fight against the shark.
But it does make you warm

The news said he owned one and he used to weare it but they were not sure if he was wearing it! that is the fact. Also they have a battery that need charging, happend to me a couple of time to go out snorkelling to find comming out of the water that it was off cause of flat battery, but gee I was feeling good in the water not knowing

How long have you been wearing this wetsuit for? Maybe it's your wetsuit that's causing global warming!
