Pray.
Worse case scenario, carry a dive knife and when a shark gets too close use it..................... to make sure the guy closest to you is bleeding. The sharks will go to him, and you can get out of the water.

keep your eye on him. a lot of people who dive/swim with sharks, they say the key is to keep your eyes on them. dont let them out of your sight and dont turn your back on them.
not splashing would be a plus also.

What if there is no place to get out of the water? Is it a good idea to where those chainmails when you go diving?

Don't think too many people like to go swimming with you?

Take pics of it then run so you can have a battle scar and pics of it!

Just think, you'd be like the coolest kid at school.

Contrary to popular belief sharks are not going to run up and bite you just because. There is no reason whatsoever to wear chain mail on a regular dive, and in fact, it greatly limits your movements. Basically don't purposely try and annoy them, don't dive in the middle of a feeding frenzy, and just use common sense

I used to dive with these guys all the time....
and would have happily gone in without the chain mail which, IMO, was mostly for the public to see.

My wife often swears that if I could I would dive in our tank......Very jealous of your former job 'O'.

Very low pay and horrible management, as a comparison I took a pay cut from the job I had before it, and that was at an LFS. But primarily it was horrible management, terribly designed systems, etc.

From my runescape experience, I was under the impressionthat chainmail wasnt affective against stabbing attacks, just crush
