Sharks are a major source of anxiety for many individuals. However, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History's ichthyology department, the risk of being attacked by these aquatic animals is less than getting struck by lightening, being eaten by an alligator or bitten by a rabid animal in New York City. In order to get over a fear of sharks - also known as galeophobia - one should consider swimming alongside them.
A fantastic place to swim with sharks is South Africa. In the country's many coastal cities and resort towns, there are many tour companies that will take divers down into shark infested waters and allow them to interact with the animals. Individuals can choose to observe the fish from a cage or swim up close to them if they are brave enough.
Conquering one's fears can be a very challenging undertaking, and as such, it is best to plan this shark-themed trip to South Africa with a small group of adventure travelers that are as interested in putting their fears to rest as you are.
