#besharksmart

This video demonstrates the importance of having a marine grade #tourniquet on you in the water. While bystanders can yell. Can they really get to you and have a tourniquet properly applied in the 60 second window that’s required? Answer, probably not, so if all your surf first aid preparation and equipment is land based and you don’t have any water equipment, you’re going to have a bad time. 🎥 @sharkbytesapp #shark #sharks #besharksmart #sharksmart #sharkattack #sharkweek #stopthebleed #lifeguards #lifeguard #bcon #firstresponders #firstaid #ifak #beach #capecod #nausetbeach #chatham #wellfleet #truro #boston https://www.instagram.com/p/ByH_Z3Tg89O/?igshid=5514e5bdq9kj

The Cape Cod National Seashore @capecodnps is a beautiful, unique area of the 🇺🇸. Surfers and Beachgoers are encouraged by the community and non-profits like @a_whiteshark to #besharksmart . One piece of this 🧩 is #omna #marinetourniquet and #tourniquetleash . Self-reliance, and the ability to efficiently #stopthebleed in the water prior to the arrival of #firstresponders is paramount; especially when the terrain like soft sand dunes, long winding roads, etc increase response times. #tourniquet #tecc #sharksmart #foamed #greatwhiteshark #capecod #wellfleet #firefighter #beach #ocean #sharkattack #lifeguard #surfrescue #surftourniquet #surfer #surfing #surfleash #surfers #lifesaving #nausetbeach #paramedic @uslifesaving (at Cape Cod National Seashore) https://www.instagram.com/p/ButuwQoH9cB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d89cvav13sy6

We sink to our level of training, especially in the water. Get the right training from reputable organizations, and have the right equipment for the ocean. Well done to the diver, he held his composure, after having the surprise of a life time. Did exactly the right things, maintained an eye on it, screamed bubbles in dominance, didn't shoot the shark, just fended his space, warned his mates and looked back down to visually, catch out the Sharks sneaky third approach. Amazing how well eye contact can work. Amazing how any predator will 'chase' you if you flee. Unfortunately having to get air, the diver has to boost to the surface, and seemingly flee. But then he does the right thing and visually blocks the white coming up. It's clearly just checking him out through curiosity, but holy shit that would give you a fright. 🎥 + 📖 @thelifeofrileynz #besharksmart #shark #greatwhite #greatwhiteshark #calm #training #apnea #onebreathatatime #spearfishing #spearfishing #waterman #freedive #freediving #freediver #spearo #underwater #uwlife #ocean #productswithamission #emergencyfirstresponse #divetourniquet #surftourniquet #omnatourniquet #spearfishingtourniquet #tecc #tccc #saltlife (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2QtDgHfEJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13aom8w5x3n4i

Wonderful visit to the @sharkspotters yesterday. This NGO uses pro-active methods to minimise the shark-human conflicts. Here is one of their mountain observation pints located above the Muzenberg beach, popular destination for surfers. #pole2pole #mikehorn #sharkproject #sharkspotters #saveourseas #whiteshark #aquedu #shark #sharks #lovetheoceans #marinebio #marinebiology #ilovesharks #sharkscience #sharkaddict #exploresouthafrica #capetown #southafrica #westenrcape #capepoint #pangaea #muzenberg #fishhoek #surf #surfing #surflife #surfer #besharksmart #safetyfirst (at Muzenberg Beach)

Spent yesterday with the SA Shark Conservancy tagging sharks. Here, a newly tagged Bronie is released back into False Bay after spending under 4min out of the water. Www.SharkConservancy.org
