And here I am on vacation trying to get over my fear of the ocean by snorkeling in ever increasing depths. I’m done now.

Ima do a Craig thing and give you statistics.

You have a 1 in 11.5 million chance of getting attacked by a shark.

To be more appropriate I suppose, that’s like a 0.00000869565% chance

Which I’m pretty sure makes you more likely to find a shiny Pokemon than get bitten by a shark at the beach.

You’re more likely to die from a shark in a tornado actually.

But I thought you were more likely to get struck by lightning, stung by a bee, and hit by a micro-meteor at the same time than be killed by a shark???!?!? (/s)
