What happens in a Shark Attack?

What would you do to react and survive?

Your best bet is to try to hit the shark's eye or nose. That's probably going to be the easiest thing for you to locate to hit that the shark will react to.

The reality is, your hope of surviving a shark attack largely depends on your situation before the shark attack. If you're alone, your chances are slim to none. If you're in a group or around boaters, that's how you have a chance of survival.

Is this seriously the best response?

Most shark bites are quick bites and then they go away. Most of the time the shark is basically just testing to see what you are. Sharks don't have great eyesight at things like flashing jewelry or your movement can make them think you're a fish. So by the time you know you've been bitten, it's over.

We need reasonable common sense shark control. No one needs a shark to hunt deer.

watch Jaws

Watch Ocean Ramsey’s videos on Instagram. She’s a professional but she’s still human. She diverts the sharks by pressing on their nose and gently easing them aside.

I survived one with a bull shark basically because I didn’t even know it was there. Had I seen it, panicked, and tried to flee, I probably would have been badly hurt.

The woman on social media PP recommended it spot on. When you’re calm and act like the top predator, they usually leave you alone.

Men only carry sharks around because they have tiny penises.

OMG this is terrifying. Was this near here; maybe Ocean City or OBX ?

This! I'm a former ocean lifeguard and most bites are purely accidental. Avoid swimming at dawn and dusk when the water is even murkier and easier for the shark to mistake you for a regular food source. Always, always, always swim at a guarded beach. You will want access to a Stop the Bleed kit depending upon where you are bit on your body.
I only ever had one instance in which I thought someone was being attacked. They were just pass the surf line on a boogie board and something knocked them off their board and they began screaming like hell. I was already swimming out to them when they came flying past me towards shore. I'm thinking it must have been a skate because it created a ton of turbulence next to the guy before he was struck. That's what had caught my eye first.

Draw and shoot 2 torpedos at the nose.

Who is this person that keeps asking what you would do in hypothetical situations? The last one was yesterday “what would you do in a mass shooting?”
