There are "baitballs" currently on the Queensland coast, with lots of surfers within 50 yards of sharks, some packs are as large as 11 sharks, mainly of the "Whaler" family.Considering the number of sharks, and the numbe rof surfers, not a single person ha sbeen bitten.
This does not stop the newsreaders using words like "killers" "deadly" "frightening" and other terms that are likely to get stupid people nodding there heads, pointing at the TV and saying:
"yeah, nasty sharks"...
One of the responses to the article:
Clearly, not a diver.

Being a Brit, I know the Sun newspaper and except for page 3 there is nothing of value in it! I live in the southern Philippines where our local sharks are not aggressive or desturbing, (except for the ones in blue uniforms). I have asked many people when was the last shark atack in the Philippines and nobody can remember! NIMO the clown fish, now thats another story!

It's the trigger fish you have to watch. One chased our dive group for 200m. I was fighting it off with my Ike housing and strobes...
