What is the one thing people are afraid of most when they enter the water?

Thanks to movies like 'Jaws' and television shows about sharks, like those during Discovery's Shark Week, you guessed it... Sharks are the biggest fear people have about going into the water.

What most people don't know is that whenever you travel to the ocean, if you decide to do a little surfing, body boarding or even just splashing in the surf - odds are that there are probably sharks in the general vicinity.

In fact, just this week a hammerhead shark was filmed swimming all the way up to the shore along the beach at the Navarre Fishing Pier in Florida.  Dan Flynn caught the shark on video and posted it to YouTube.  Fortunately no one got hurt but the video is pretty cool to watch.

Watch as the shark swims within feet of unsuspecting swimmers.
