I've snorkelled a few times and seen some cool things, especially on the Barrier Reef. Not so keen on being anywhere near sharks of the pointy teeth varieties.

Yeah, that's pretty much how everyone feels other than scuba divers. People generally think they're mental for seeking out shark encounters, but the truth is that sharks almost never attack humans beneath the water of you act in a certain way.
But they do attack snorkelers and surfers basically because they're ambush predators. Plus they often mistake surfers and snorkelers for their natural prey.
