Some fishing organizations are calling for the government to purchase shark shields or other devices that emit electrical impulses that have been shown to deter white sharks. In addition, some local biologists have recommended divers not wear BLACK wetsuits as they can make the wearer look like a seal. They have also suggested painting white stripes on the suits to replicate the pattern of the poisonous coral snake.

Another recommendation is to wear a second scuba mask on the back of the head. The theory behind this is sound. Sharks are ambush predators, they could be less likely to strike if they believe intended prey is watching them.

This could have been avoided if the guidelines above were followed, but as you can see, sharks are racist!
