When I was 14 (10 years ago) I was visiting my aunt in LA and we went to a beach in Malibu with her dog. Usually her dog would always run straight into the water, but for some reason that day he wouldn’t go in. I thought that was weird so I refused to go in the water myself which my aunt laughed at. About an hour later a lifeguard came running towards us warning us a great white had been spotted… If something doesn’t feel right, trust your intuition…

If you learn anything that isn't "stay out of the ocean" then let it be to trust your gut. When you have a foreboding feeling, just don't go in that day.

That man who "felt wary" that particular day should have NOT gone surfing, especially after his wife had that dream. Truth in a "woman's intuition". Truth in a nagging feeling that doesn't go away, too. It's hard to believe that there are areas in Australia that have NOT had shark attacks!! Something different about the sharks in Australia. Very voracious. Lots of fatalities. Florida is shark capital of the USA, but while there are bites, they usually are not life threatening. RIHP to those that did not survive. I believe the ocean is being overfished. That's why there are more attacks.

Shouting “F&@k you!” At a shark is such an Aussie move 😊

I just don't understand the risk. Feet dangling in the water on a surf board. It's like ringing the dinner bell.

Bunker bay is indeed absolutely stunning.<br>There are lots of sting rays playing in the water close to shore.<br>It was one of the highlights of our trip❤

When I visited West Australia I went in the water, but only up to my waist and while my husband watched from the shore.<br>I instructed him repeatedly to watch out for dark shadows.
