Do you swim with a knife and would you have the guts to dive in to rescue your partner?

You and your honey are having fun jumping into the water or wading waist deep when IT hits your partner... a 2 meter Bull shark!!

Warning: sad true story, this girl died from her injuries. My condolences and I don't mean to offend anyone.

This young man jumps into the water to save his girlfriend, in the face of an aggressive shark. He pulled her to shore. Unfortunately, she did not survive the wounds.

That takes a lot of guts!

A few notes of wisdom.

* Sharks often congregate near piers, don't jump in there. Multiple people have died this way.

* Sharks can attack in shallow water and try to drag you to deep water. Multiple deaths.

* Multiple people have died playing on the waters edge, to be pulled out by a wave... and sharks killed them.

* It helps to be armed with a knife... multiple men have fended off sharks using knives.

Yes, I'd dive in to save them

Probably not

Don't know

I keep a knife in my PFD when we go out on the kayaks. I would dive in and get my knife just behind the shark's head and jam it into his brain. It is the best way to kill it.

you earned it!
I hear as well... go for the gills, not the nose... since the nose is near the mouth.

I don't swim with a knife but I would jump in to help.

I could but I usually don't. But if that was the case, 9/10, no. I'd go to shore and open fire. Only one person would I go at it with a knife.
