Here is a map of shark attacks on the Red Sea. Blue is non fatal, red is fatal. Not so fun fact, the 2023 fatal attack was all caught on film.

This indicates that, statistically speaking, sharks aren't dangerous.
Sharks have caused 7 deaths in some 50 years.
Cows have killed about 13 people in the Netherlands in a decade.
And 90% of statistics are made up on the spot.
Here’s what wikipedia says:
According to the International Shark Attack File(ISAF), between 1958 and 2016 there were 2,785 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 439 were fatal.[16] Between 2001 and 2010, an average of 4.3 people per year died from shark attacks.[3]
Still very low, but nearly 100 times higher than your number.
Is the only danger mortal?
Either way I'm not taking my chances 😅
If you find yourself in that region, the sharks may be the least of your concerns :)
Well, here I am.. should I call for help, or just try to swim away? 🥲Well, I guess you are there intentionally, so enjoy yourself!
If you go swimming, stuff some raw steaks in your swimsuit. If a shark attacks, you can feed it the steak and it'll leave you alone :)
I plan on bringing waterproof tp with, incase I do see a shark 😅
Care to expand on that?
This is a LGBTQ friendly instance, most people here won't be terribly welcome in those countries.
Also not the most stable region ATM either.
