If I am not mistaken it is very rare to find a Great White in the Atlantic.

How many people can be eaten by a shark, one, maybe 2 if it's really hungry. I know it did happen. But that was not common and you dont find Great whites in groups unless it's mating season.
Sharks and poisonous snakes are more of a psychological factor more than anyting else.
We had the same 'fear' in the Persian gulf with those poisonous eels. But the truth is casualties are very low and you have to be 'unlucky' to get biten by one because they have small mouths and can't get a bite unless it's your fingers. We were told to make a fist and roll into a ball if they were around.
But hypothermia within 5 to 10 mins in the atlantic, now that was common and no one was spared.
