    When I was 18, I did a backpacking trip and 2 random strangers that I had just met at the hostel convinced me to do an unguided kayak tour to a tiny island just off the coast. As soon as we were out in the open water, a rather uneasy feeling overcame me, but I told myself that I was simply exaggerating and that there was nothing to worry about.

Only way it would make sense is if your scared of the ocean and what lies beneath, and if that’s the case, yeah you definitely should not have gone on that trip. I remember I got flipped by a pack of seals off the coast of Vancouver 10 years ago.

      @Seaworth Don’t kid yourself. When a shark hasn’t caught a seal for a few days, just about anything is on the menu - just like that poor Russian kid who got ate by a tiger shark in Egypt last week. Oh, and sometimes when they take a curiosity bite, it’s usually the initial taste of the wetsuit that repels them - like when they know within a millisecond they are biting into a decoy seal.

      Sharks actually are fairly sensitive to electromagnetic fields as they use that ability to detect heart beats and find prey, quite recently researchers have figured out that this is the same reason sharks become curious about boats.
      Possibly his electric equipment might have something to do with the sharks curiosity. Or not

Also, not every attack is an accident and there are 2 reasons for this. Great whites and tiger sharks are pretty curious creatures and bite people in a gentle way. People bitten by sharks say they don't even feel the pain. The second reason for attacks are territorial reasons, big sharks are pretty territorial of their kill since other sharks and predators want their food.
