Here is some information on how to avoid shark bites from the University of Florida's shark research center.

  • Stay close to shore
  • Swim during daylight hours
  • Don't enter the water if you're bleeding
  • Don't enter the water wearing shiny jewelry
  • Pets can attract sharks with their erratic movements
  • Splashing can also attract sharks
  • Sandbars and deep drop-offs are favorite shark hangouts, so it is best to avoid those areas
