Do you venture into those parts of seas where there are sharks or salt water crocodiles? / myLot

In Andaman and Nicobar Islands there is a part of the sea where there is a safety board. There are five categories of dangerous sea creatures are mentioned which are there like sharks, stonefishes, salt water crocodiles, and many other creatures. I never ventured there. I can swim in sea water but not at the pace of sharks. So obviously if the board is avoided it will at individual risk of the swimmer.

I've only been to the ocean twice in California on vacations. There are no saltwater crocodiles there and lifeguards start yelling to get out of the water if they spot sharks near the beach. (I didn't go into the water when I was there. I only sat on the sand and watched sea creatures in a large hole where the surf had hollowed out a basin full of water and wild creatures the water brought in to that pool.) I can swim but only swam in rivers, lakes and streams far away from any dangerous wildlife except for the water moccasins (highly venomous swimming snakes). Once, in a local lake, I saw a water moccasin swimming toward me while I was floating on a rubber raft. I splashed water at the snake and it swam away...

@sathviksouvik Not very brave at all. The snake was between me and the shore. I just didn't want it to bite me and splashing water at it was the only thing I could think of at the time.
