What is the best way to defend yourself from a shark?

Well, if the Shark is coming towards you, don't panic. If you do, you swim too fastly or something, then you start to sink. Either calmly swim away in a fast motion, or call for help. A lifeguard or something should be there. Obviously, you're moving your legs fastly, or just moving your legs, or arms. So, the shark thinks you're fish and bites. When he tastes you, he realizes you're not fish, and swims away. That last bit of information was just to inform people that Sharks aren't monsters, and that they don't completely eat people. =))))

Or, just take off a piece of your bathing suit or clothing or whatever and try to give it to the Shark in place of you. xD

if they are big and you dony have inmediately attention well yes

hardly!! just coz they're big doesnt mean they can hurt u! ur not allowd 2 touch them anyway. Plus they have no sting. I suppose they might get a bit freaked out if u harpoon them though...

Manta rays lack a functional sting, sharp teeth, or other appendages with which to inflict injury. They are large, and may reach up to 7m across and weigh 1.5 T. However they are extremely graceful and manoeuvrable in the water, and the likelihood of a collision is very rare. By interacting with the manta responsibly, the chance of injury is minimal. See my profile for a link to more info.
