What do you do if you find yourself face to face with, lets say, a nice size bull shark?

Wonder what the hell it's doing in Scotland?

It's so funny reading all these posts. I remember when I started this thread, I was truly afraid of comming face to face with a bull shark. The most ironic thing now is, I keep searching for them to have a good look. If you haven't read the story Rick Murchison posted, you must.... Nice read

After reading some of the threads here on sharks, I have a question.... What do you do if you find yourself face to face with, lets say, a nice size bull shark?
I've seen alot of different reefies, and nurse sharks, but they couldn't have cared less that I was there, and although I highly respect them, I haven't ever feared them sharing space with them. I have yet to see a "predator" shark and I'm curious just what exactly should a diver do?

remember, you don't have to be able to outswim the shark. You
only have to be able to outswim your dive buddy

Don't look like lunch or a date

OK, stay vertical and blow bubbles as not to look like lunch.

What's the recommended protocol to avoid being a date?

I bet you that between these two alternatives, being lunch might be preferable.

Think of it this way, if a 5m White Shark decides you are lucnh there really isnt much you will able to do about it, but hey not a bad way to go, beats being in a car wreck

Uh, maybe to you guys....car wreck stands the chance of being a lot more instant of a death than being bitten by a shark.
