Unfortunately, the fear of sharks is common, mainly sparked by sensationalized stories, stereotyping, and films depicting them as dangerous killers. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, most of these animals are extremely docile and non-aggressive. Out of the 440 different species, only three are responsible for most human attacks. The most well-known species are the Great White shark, Tiger shark, Hammerhead shark, Bull shark, and, of course, the Whale shark. You only have to dive with sharks once to see how fascinating these animals really are.
