Swimming with Sharks is NOT a Death Sentence

People have been brainwashed by movies and the news to only see sharks as monsters and now love to be scared by them. When people hear the words shark and nice in the same sentence their brain goes haywire because they would never expect those two words to go together. For many, seeing sharks as anything but a killer is interesting, and from my personal experience, they love to know why they are not as dangerous as they seem.
