Why am i watching this.I'm gunna paint my harness hook black tomorrow.....

That was a bloody good show. Very informative but that bloke standing in the water with black gloves on telling everyone dont wear white etc then gets his nice white calf chomped on. I really cant understand why you would want to stand around in water with a bunch of bull sharks bumping into you
Also that bit on the Brissy river with kids being towed behind a boat, ignorance is bliss I reckon.

For those who missed the show the lessons were:

-Don't wear shiny stuff in the water as the sharks mistake it for fish

-Don't go swimming with your dog cos they swim too erratic and attract shark

-Don't swim in the Brisbane river

-Make sure you take a big bag of fish with you when you go swimming so you can feed the sharks and keep them happy

-Don't let the sharks get too comfortable with you or they may give you a love bite.

Ok, so the guys are standing there talking about bull sharks in waist deep water and there's a dozen or so sharks swimming around. After a while one of them comes in for a sniff and bites the guy's calf off (you've probably seen that on youtube).

Interestingly, although there's blood everywhere from the remains of his leg, the shark's don't go into a feeding frenzy. When asked about this, the expert claimed that shark's don't get excited about human blood as we're not on their menu. Good to know!

I heard if you wear board shorts over your wetsuit sharks wont attack you, apparently they'll defiantly know your a stupid human.
