I have a comment on the post above however. I appreciate your advice, but wonder whether this is really a topic that's even worth blogging about? Considering you are 93 times more likely to die due to contact with a hot water tap (see http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/Risk/shark.html). I have also read your entry '5 things more likely than a shark attack' which really puts it into perspective and is a good read. Such facts are definitely worth mentioning in the post above, to highlight just how unlikely a shark attack really is. This brings me back to my initial question, is it worth writing about in the safety section of a blog? I have just started a blog similar to yours, but more aimed at novice divers, or those who have been dry too long! Check it out if you have time.... http://diveandthrive.wordpress.com/ I'd appreciate any feedback or comments.
