There were reports of Great Whites off the coast of Cornwall last year if I remember correctly! You can never be too careful!

But yeah, 'bruised thigh' is up there with 'paper cut' in the severity of injuries really isn't it!

Whilst it is, of course, entirely possible that Great Whites may venture into our waters from time to time, it is more likely that any sightings may be a case of mistaken identity as the Porbeagle shark, which is native to our waters, looks remarkably similar to the Great White, only they don't grow as large.

There are at least 21 different species of shark in our waters and you may be surprised at quite how many could be considered dangerous to humans.

For example, the Shortfin Mako shark is a summer visitor and is listed as one of the top ten dangerous sharks worldwide.

The Blue Shark, while not considered to be dangerous when swimming free, if caught, they fight for their lives and have been responsible for four fatalities.

The smooth hammerhead is an occasional visitor to our waters.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..


"Now this has me wondering... can you drown a shark?"

Yes.

Next question....

Reason is, Most sharks a have to move continually to pass water across their gills.

There are several sharks that are able to force water across their gills, such as nurse sharks, and do so in a similar to most fish.

The mako is also perhaps the fastest swimmer in the sea.

As water temperatures rise slightly, sharks from temperate waters will be frequent visitors to our waters which I'm looking forward to as it will save me the air fares to dive with them in abroad (although I will miss the amazing foods of other countries)

Unfortunately, shark populations are on a steep decline due to the barbaric trade in shark fins to satisfy the far East's taste for shark fin soup.

Sharks are caught, their fins cut off and the fish thrown back to, left to slowly drown.

The fight against the shark finning is something very close to my heart having seen the shark population dwindle over the past 25 years I have been diving and having seen first hand, dead sharks on the ocean floor with their fins removed in a supposed marine conservation area off of the coast of Thailand.

Hard to conserve them as well if you can't take a couple of great whites to neees in captivity and release the babies back.

My lottery dream would be opening my own sea world with a great white shark but they can't live in captivity they've tried and they all die.

That is very sad you almost come to expect it now from these kind of countrys they destroy but don,t put back anything in a conservational way one of the reasons I,d never go there.
