Their drifting habit will change eventually for some reason or another, but sharks will always be sharks.

Why do people continue to swim or surf in what they know are shark-infested waters?Every year people are attacked by sharks in shark-infested waters, yet they seem surprised? I simply don't understand why people enter waters where they know sharks frequent.
