How to Fend Off a Shark
1. Hit back. If a shark is coming toward you or attacks you, use anything you have in your possession—a camera, probe, harpoon gun, your fist—to hit the shark's eyes or gills, which are the areas most sensitive to pain.
2. Make quick, sharp, repeated jabs in these areas. Since sharks are predators and will usually only follow through on an attack if they have the advantage, making the shark unsure of its advantage in any way possible will increase your chances of survival. Contrary to popular opinion, the shark’s nose is not the area to attack, unless you cannot reach the eyes or gills. Hitting the shark simply tells it that you are not defenseless.

Punch in the nose, stick thumbs in the eyes, and face a shark head-on, vertical in the water, makes you appear larger, and you don't look so much like a seal.

definitely the nose. its the most sensitive part on the sharks body. but, if you're in that situation, i suggest punching every body part you can.

On the end of the nose!!! But if it wants to bite that may not help. They just want a taste to see if you are food or not!!

you're no longer likely to be attacked by a shark ... yet beware of fat untanned legal specialists in spedo's ... they reason blindness and then sue you for locating and sexually harassing them.

It's all of the above *IF* you encounter a shark attack.
