Hmmmm, Interesting.
I have pics here of my daughter at 14 swimming with grey reef sharks.
They are virtually harmless so it doesn't say much for 7 8 9 and 10


Nurse sharks & sand sharks can be dangerous under some
circumstance... while it's not difficult to identify feeding
cues for them, it is difficult to tell when they'll strike.
In bright light, in shallow water, a well fed reef (nurse or
sand) shark is no more dangerous than a kitten... feeding
cues are totally absent... safe for people to get their
picture taken cuddling them!

Hammerheads can definitely be killers. I'm surprised they're
not higher up the list, although maybe it's because they
don't usually grow big enough to seem like a threat.

But even a relatively small shark can cause a serious enough
injury to be fatal, and once blood is in the water then all
the sharks within reach will attack.

But the statistics show that sharks really aren't that
dangerous... more people die of bee stings every year.
