Wyatt2323 I believe if you read up on bites you'll find were a lot of people get bitten are near were theres a drop off from sallow water to deeper it seems sharks like to cruise here looking for meals. Alot of people are mistaken for food with their movements. Another is near the beach people walk in a step on a shark are one is looking for a meal and hes trying a taste. That's were shuffle you feet comes from.
In April in the Key Largo area it's the hammerheads breeding time of year. Hammerheads can be mean but more times than not you see there body for a second they see you and swoosh they are gone. Places were they don't feed sharks if you happen on lets say nurse sharks they just lay under a ledge and if you don't get closer than say 7 are so feet they'll just lie there. A 10ft bull swimming down the highway just goes on his merry way if you give him a wide berth. They are not looking to chase you down for a snack. The majority of bites are accidental were they think you are something else they eat. Don't worry after a few times you dive near them you'll get used to it but its still a rush.
