Thank you for the relief.

Your posts are always sober on this topic. You've noted many times that the increase in these sorts of sightings is what's happens when you move food sources close to mankind, or when mankind creeps closer to their home.

As such, can you please comment on this paragraph - specifically, how wise is it to swim after a Great White? I understand, they're all not bloodthirsty, eat-anything machines. But they're also not guppies.

“The shark had no interest in anybody,” Cocci said. “She came back two more times, and that enabled me to get the video. I had to swim my butt off to try to keep up with her.”

They all are but only when they've got the munchies.....

Divers react differently to sharks.
Myself when I was in the boat getting ready to enter the water, I was more concerned with sharks than when I was actually in the water and saw them.

I think it is an individual thing.- Tom
