What to do when you meet a shark in the open sea

Actually, situations where you meet a shark that is going to attack you do not happen very often. But such an "acquaintance" is still dangerous.

You shouldn’t:

• Panic. Sharks feel your fear and get even angrier due to the prey drive.
• Try to swim away. A shark is on its territory, and it moves very quickly — it’s going to catch you.

• 
  
• You should:
• Stay still. Try to leave the pathway of the animal by slowly swimming away. It will lose its interest in you.
• Defend yourself. If a shark attacks, punch it on the nose with all your might, and try to leave the water. The shark is going to be lead astray for a while.
• If the animal is going to bite you, try to injure its eyes or gills. These are the weakest parts of a shark’s body.

Anyway, defend yourself and try to leave the water quickly by all means.
