How to swim with sharks safely

Does swimming with sharks stir your soul with adrenaline? Here are some useful hacks and facts should you ever get up close and personal with these majestic creatures.

1. Avoid swimming with sharks at dusk or dawn when they typically feed. These are the times when they’re more likely to be aggravated or be confused as to what’s food.

2. Sharks are very curious creatures and anything floating on the ocean surface attracts their attention. Enter the water swiftly and quietly to avoid frightening them or provoking a defensive attack.

3. Avoid swimming in murky water and stay away from caves and overhangs. If you can’t see them, they can’t see you and you don’t ever want to be caught unaware.

4. Avoid looking like a seal. Paddling on a surfboard in a wetsuit and fins can give you a seal’s silhouette from a shark’s perspective.

5. Know what you’re dealing with. Be able to identify some of the more aggressive shark species so that you can make a gauge of the threat it is likely to pose.

6. It’s best to shark dive on sunny, clear days. It is difficult to see a shark in the shadows and may cause a shark to confuse you with prey.

7. Trust your instinct. Do not hesitate to abort a dive if the sharks are showing too much of interest in you. You might have to make a quick exit so remember not to drift too far away from the dive site.

8. Respect the sharks. They are naturally curious and may swim past or come close to you while diving. Never chase or swim towards them but always go around instead.

9. The easiest way to get bitten by a shark is to touch one. It is a wild predator that will defend itself when threatened.

10. To encourage safe encounters with shark, take advantage of their natural curiosity by humming or clinking two rocks together. These simple techniques may lure a curious shark closer.

To catch pro-wrestler Ronda Rousey and survivalist Bear Grylls taking on their fiercest opponent to an in-depth look into shark conservation, check out the 30th anniversary of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week with a stellar line up of immersive shows that will explore all things sharks.

hi space mom I'm eating edibles on Friday I'mowkeu scared what's ur advice

Eat half of one (cookie/brownie/whatever it is you’re eating) first and wait 60-90 minutes for it to kick in so you will now how strong it is. Then eat the rest if necessary. Edible highs last way longer than smoking highs (5-8+ hours depending on metabolism) so make sure you’ve got your schedule cleared lmao. You’ll peak around 3 hours. Drink water, chill out, listen to good music. Have a good trip, kiddo.

Hello! Im going to Prague in a couple days and I wanted to ask you if you could recommend anything that I must see in Prague? That would be awesome! Have a nice day!

Well niether of as is Prague local but I recommend to you to check out (or czech out…old pun? dull… :-)) this video or maybe even the whole series. We mentioned before Janek Rubeš and his Honest Prague Guide. He show you what to do in Prague, what don’t, where visit the interesting places if you don’t want to follow a many tourists and where are the biggest tourist traps (and there are many of them). Some activites are not for winter (like gardens, or paddlebording on Vltava river) instead of this you can watch video what to do inside or go to gallery (Do it! Galleries are awesome in Prague!). Full list of places mentioned in the video is here.
