Answer
First and foremost, stay calm. Most sharks are not a threat to humans and are just as curious about you as you are about them. • Gently back away while keeping your eyes on the shark. Avoid sudden movements that could startle it. • If the shark approaches you, maintain a vertical position in the water and try to look as large as possible. This can help deter it. • After you've distanced yourself, signal to your snorkel group or guide to ensure everyone is aware of the situation.
