    Bondi Rescue follows the work of the elite professional Lifeguards who patrol Australia’s busiest beach. This is Australia’s real life Baywatch! Taking the viewers on their journey through mass rescues, drownings, resuscitations, shark sightings, and all number of the weird and wonderful experiences Bondi Beach dishes up.
    In #BondiRescue the audience sees the action through the eyes of real characters and #lifeguards like Hoppo, Deano, Reidy, Jesse, Maxi, Whippet and Harries, as they catch thieves, perform CPR, make drug busts, break up fights, and even handle a navy bomb that washes ashore one afternoon. Every year throws up new and completely unexpected challenges, and how lifeguards adapt is what makes Bondi Rescue a show that’s about much more than swimmers being saved in the surf.

      I know that, I know my limitations, the ocean knows its and so when I do go to the beach I man the bbq and hang out with my dogs. We keep our distance and nobody has to die that day.

      ​@@BondiRescue Not just working, literally anyone entering into the water needs to accept this. The attitude this episode is written in however doesn't paint that picture. It's worded as though it's a human right to be able to swim at Bondi beach, and for some reason the humans have more rights to swim there than the sharks do. The nets wouldn't be there if people actually felt as though they have LESS of a right to be there than the sharks.

      I would add that the probability of getting bitten by a shark is so low it's insignificant, they don't even eat human flesh, 99% of the time they only take a bite and then leave. Same with killer whale, they are harmless.
      Of course the probability is a bit higher if you are a surfer since they may misidentify you for a prey.

      Australia's inshore waters are absolutely loaded with sharks. Considerably different from offshore including different species of sharks. When you have 30,000+ people on a beach inside a Bay, a lack of sharks is absolutely something to celebrate. Inshore shark species are not endangered like some of the offshore species and it's not as though every part of the ocean is lacking sharks. Offshore on the East Coast of the US is flooded with sharks for example. It's mainly Asian and South American waters that are being decimated.

    I also am a native Floridian (50 years living on the coast and 13 years on a lake). I learned to swim by age 3, swam on the Orlando juniors swim team then swam on jr and sr high teams. The very first thing I ever taught my children was how to handle a rip current. Every time for the rest of their lives before entering the ocean we went over how to handle a rip current / basically every summer day, every fall day we went over rip current protocol. All my kids ended up being life guards and saw first hand how panicked people get in rip currents. Fortunately they only had to do a few rip rescues. The other safety talk was about sharks. Where we swim/surf at home we usually don’t get the more aggressive sharks nevertheless the no no is early morning swimming/surfing and sunset swimming/surfing and absolutely NO night swimming. And we all know that even with precautions we may get caught in a rip, we may get bitten by a shark but at least we are prepared and aware!

    The best way to avoid sharks when swimming off a beach is to watch out for drop off points.Stay close to shore, where you can still see the bottom and where reefs/ rocky places are present.Don’t go beyond them.Sharks like drop offs because of how food like fish congregate there.

    An old seafarer was once asked how you can know if there is a shark in the area. He said, " Well, you take a tablespoon down to the water's edge and as a wave comes in you fill the spoon with water. Check the spoon to make sure there is no sand in the spoon. If there is none then taste the water. If it is salty there is a shark in the water!" 😋

    Sharks are one of my favorite animals. They don’t hunt humans. They mistake humans for another one of their prey and unfortunately attack at times but that is because they can’t tell the difference. They are a vital part of the ecosystem. Without them, ocean life will crumble. Remember when you are in the ocean, you are in their home. How would you feel if people came into your home and killed you because they were scared of the possibility of you hurting another person? How is that fair? People need to remember that we are apart of ecosystems that we share with other animals and plants. Just because we are the most developed organisms on earth, that doesn’t mean we are more important than other organisms.
