What NOT to do in the ocean!!!

Okay people, here we go. Here are some rules that may seem obvious but surprisingly, many people make these mistakes and that's when they get attacked.
(Of course, there are times when a random incident will occur and a person who does "everything right" will get attacked, but the more you know about the environment you're in, the less you have to worry about and leave to chance and luck).
RULES OF THUMB:
1) Never go into the ocean with an open wound or if you are bleeding. Sharks can smell blood up to a mile away!
2) Do not wear any jewelry whatsoever. Even earrings, rings...etc. The jewelry will ultimately catch the rays of the sun which will create a glare that the scales of fish create when they swim. So by wearing jewelry, you're putting a bright red blanket in front of an angry bull so-to-speak.
3) Never swim around people who are fishing.Usually, there is chum in the water (a mixture of fish oil and blood) and whenever that is in the water, sharks will be on the prowl. Don't get in the way of their food.
4) Never swim alone. Obviously, if a shark is going to attack it won't really matter if there are two or three people together, however, another person can help save your life. It doesn't even have to do with sharks, at the very least, if you start to have a leg cramp another person near you can be a lifesaver.
5) It would be wise to stay OUT of the water at dawn and dusk. These are two times during the day when it is known that the majority of all shark species feed. My advice with this...just stay out of the water around these times.
6) Finally, do NOT get into the water when you are drinking and especially if you are intoxicated. Just mixing water with alcohol can be dangerous, and then when you add sharks into the mix, it's just not a wise idea.
***It is very important to remember that sharks can be scary and dangerous, but they need and should be respected. The ocean is THEIR home as well as all the other ocean creatures. So everytime we enjoy the ocean, we are visitors visiting a foreign place. Keep that in mind the next time you go out into the ocean. :)
