Located in the US state of Florida, Volusia County is also famous for a series of sad events. The accidents are connected with the Haiangriffen. Volusia County is one of the beaches where unprovoked attacks of predators are the most common. Particularly dangerous are the sharks for surfers and for divers, who often dive into the dangerous depth where one can encounter the predators.
20012 was one of the most unhappy years of the coast. The first victim of the sharks was the 21-year-old surfer, who was bitten by the shark. The next was the 11-year-old boy, who has bathed in the shallow water and was attacked by the small shark of the unknown kind. In many ways, the beach was dangerous because of the small sharks, which were very close to the coast and were often killed by the local fishermen.
Although an experienced rescue team on the beach Volusia County has always service, it fails to avoid the accidents completely. The Haiang reefs are repeated here every year. Volusia County is not recommended for pier recreation. The fishermen, who are fishing for boats and cutters, should be extremely careful.
