Sharks have keen olfactory senses, with some species able to detect as little as one part per million of blood in seawater. They are attracted to the chemicals found in the guts of many species, and as a result often linger near or in sewage outfalls. Some species, such as nurse sharks, have external barbels that greatly increase their ability to sense prey. The short duct between the anterior and posterior nasal openings are not fused as in bony fishes. Sharks generally rely on their superior sense of smell to find prey, but at closer range they also use the lateral lines running along their sides to sense movement in the water, and also employ special sensory pores on their heads (Ampullae of Lorenzini) to detect electrical fields created by prey and the ambient electric fields of the ocean. Because of their great sense of smell you should be very aware of where you are and where they might be.
Also use a tampon...don't use a pad. Your bottums will inflate and it will be the most embarassing thing you have ever expeirienced.

vivalajam0x answered Tuesday March 6 2007, 6:17 pm: Personally, I wouldn't, unless it was my last day & had a really light flow, because then the water would stop it. However, if you have a heavy flow, I DEFINITELY wouldn't. You'll make your bathing suit stained & will contaminate the ocean with your germs. Icky. It's almost like peeing in it, lol.
