Exploring the Underwater World - Scuba Diving From Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia

    

     First of all, should you see a shark if you are scuba then think yourself very lucky. If you have a camera then even better - get some photos of the pet and enjoy the experience.

There's a huge trouble with shark activities in the water - they're hyped up. Yes, occasionally folks are infected and injured, as well as killed, in shark attacks. On very uncommon events these episodes are against divers. However the human race eliminates a lot more sharks every year then the number of people killed by sharks each year. instagram panel

Encountering a shark though scuba must be a thrill. It is anything to speak about with your diver buddies and your partners down the pub. Don't panic, however don't be silly.

Unfortunately, for me personally, I have just had limited shark encounters. And everytime the sharks were so small that they were most certainly not a risk to humans. But, I also have dived in waters with Hammerheads in the vicinity and see their fins when making the area.

So besides photographing the sharks for offspring, what in case you do? Properly a whole lot depends on which species of sharks there are in the area. Your leap grasp will be able to share with you what there is about and if there are any specific steps to take.

But on the whole, and as in my experience, even though sharks may be in the region they're timid and retiring and will usually decide to try their best to steer clear of divers. And the larger and more fearsome the species, the more they'll keep away. They're timid beasts, more focused on their very own security then they want to consume us. They want to attack simple prey - injured creatures and these installing on the surface of the water. Potential prey that will see them, fight back and probably harm the shark are almost often no longer prey.

So this provides people the basics if you are focused on sharks nearing you.

First, avoid floating on the surface and looking like a lifeless animal. If it is time and energy to leave the water then keep your disguise on and view what is happening beneath you.

Ensure that at least one of one's celebration is seeing the sharks and change to face them if they're begin to approach you. By looking big and willing to defend yourself then you are likely to avoid an additional encounter.

Obviously, there are certain sharks with reputations if you are more aggressive. But until these are in the region and effective, you are impossible to really be bothered. It is usually just these shark serving that really get close up and personal to the sharks.
