Sorry for this question, but I have already heard that one drop of blood can attract sharks. Thus, if a woman dives when it's that time of month, is there a possibility sharks could be attracted to the area?
 

"No evidence suggests that women who dive while menstruating are harassed or bitten by sharks more often."

I did a quick search to see if the topic has been discussed here on SB, and of course it has--surprisingly often. Well, surprising to me. But I'm a man.

 
Nope. Never had an issue...
 
The way I understand, is blood from the mensus is "dead" blood, and sharks are not interested
