14. Actually

If I recall correctly, it is dependent upon your body position relative to the shark.

If your feet are closer, you "stomp" them in the snout, if your hands are closer, you gouge them in the eyes.

Then again, maybe you have no chance and the instructor was giggling to himself on the way back to the shower room. Those SOBs were known to be like that on occasion.

I do recall them mentioning that they quit using a certain type of shark repellent (found in a sealed pocket in the life rafts which also included " shake and snap glow sticks" and pills to precipitate salt for creating drinking water) was actually found to attract sharks after further study. Imagine that, giving you chum for shark repellent.
