I have lived near the coast all my life. I have been surfing for over 20
years and don't consider scuba diving because I am afraid I will be
subject to shark attacks. Besides, the water here is murky. I would be
pushed around on some exhibition if I were to go. Maybe some other time.

Do you think surfers are immune to shark attacks? Seems I've heard about
way more shark attacks on surfers than SCUBA divers.

obviously another thing you do not know
is that surfers are attacked far more than divers.

Troll.

Good idea. This is not your time. Later may be better, or not.

ticket the bugers will get you on the beach gearing up

Look at it from the sharks viewpoint
A surfer is an injured fish flopping around on the surface and an easy
meal.
A diver is another large fish just swimming around and even may be
looking for shark to eat.

Who is at the greater risk surfer or diver underneath

Dude! I don't even remember the last time I've ever heard of a SCUBA
Diver being attacked by a shark. You gotta really tick one off for it
to go after you.
