I voted 1 per year. Maybe one per infinity if it were a diver (even one on the surface like a swimmer--yes, we go there frequently). Of course, I haven't heard of any for sure yet at any of the specific places I dive. I would guess that if I heard of ONE, in reality, I probably would continue to dive that spot with my eyes wide open (as they always are). So, I don't completely disagree with tridacna--I wouldn't go as far as calling the poll dumb, but I think we all know sharks exist and can kill you. And I think we all will keep diving regardless--The poll seems to ask if more shark attacks happen in a specific locale would you stop. So I guess it is valid. Of course, the poll was successful in causing the usual explanations of the tiny % of attacks on divers.
The problem is that by voting, you have contributed to his ultimate goal which is to show that people are afraid of (and deterred by) sharks.
Ergo, they must be eradicated when they are perceived to be a dangerous nuisance to swimmers and/or divers.
There is no way to vote in the poll that conveys your (and my) real feelings about this. Your vote just adds to the number who have stated that they will not dive because of sharks.
This guy is a serious proponent of shark culling and all the data that we provide to him in this poll serves to further that agenda. See his previous posts.
