My pleasure ;-) Seriously though, don't let this freak you out. When I was there, there were maybe two - three per year on average. It doesn't happen nearly as often as you think it would. Also, the first shark fatality in 30 years occurred there in 98 so it's not bad. Most of the tigers are out on the northern side of Kauai where it's almost impossible to get to, and on the east side of Maui. Again, not likely you'll be there swimming. Hammerheads school in Kaneohe Bay on Oah'u but not a popular beach place and they tend to avoid people. I never heard of a Hammerhead attack. Actually, the University of Hawaii is doing some interesting research on skin cancer using hammerheads. I guess hammerheads are shallow water swimmers and don't get skin cancer. Scientists are trying to figure out why and maybe find a cure.
I guess to keep in in perspective, there were more hiking fatalities and injuries each year than shark attacks. Wait, now you won't go hiking...ignore that part...go hiking it's the best place to do it!!!
