The waters around Reunion Island are among the most dangerous in the world as far as shark attacks, you’d have to be suicidal to swim there. This was a tiger shark, but the area is home to a large bull shark population also.

It takes some kind of idiot to snorkel in a well known shark infested area.

Between 2010 and 2017, 23 shark attacks occurred in the waters of Réunion, of which nine were fatal. In July 2013, the Prefect of Réunion Michel Lalande announced a ban on swimming, surfing, and bodyboarding off more than half of the coast. Lalande also said 45 bull sharks and 45 tiger sharks would be culled, in addition to the 20 already killed as part of scientific research into the illness ciguatera.
