“No, not particularly. Unfortunately, I think this woman was unlucky. I think this is an isolated case and that the West Indians are not going to act differently, my wife gives swimming lessons at sea and everyone has responded. "

 

 

 

Michèle, tourist

"I try not to fall into the psychosis of" Teeth of the sea "but I admit that for the moment, I will not venture further than the top of my knees"

 

 

 

 

Helen, Windy Reef / Surf Club

“Having been on the Galion for 27 years, being in the water is my life, my passion. This accident defies all statistical laws concerning attacks and moreover in a territory where there has never been anything like it. However, we have reinforced our first aid kit on the boat and we are going to equip ourselves with shark bracelets. Even if vigilance becomes second nature when you surf, I was certainly shocked by the news and I lost a little of my carelessness but the call of the water is stronger, you have to go, time will restore our confidence. "

If you see a shark near you during your 100m morning crawl, get out of its way without turning your back or making any sudden movement. Always maintain eye contact and even if a shark closes its eyes when attacking, aim for that sensitive area as well as the gills.

Above all, don't panic (even if it's easier to write than to do).
