There’s no sharks in Blackpool, Smurph…no need to worry. ;)
There's a few species found in the Celtic Sea mind you-Blue Sharks, Basking, Porbeagles and Threshers. Even the occasional Mako Shark which has been involved in fatal attacks.....

Hooked a Mako about 2miles out off Worms head, well that's what the Skipper said after it came out of the water, exhilarating sight it was to, as you can gather I never saw it close up, it tore off after jumping and snapped the line like cotton weight was estimated to be between 300lb to 500lb powerful fish, I was in my 20's but I can still remember that which is strange cause I cant remember what I did last week
 
I was on Riviera Maya about a decade ago - and a couple of guys took bread from the breakfast buffet to feed the fish.
I saw a shadow in the water about 30 feet away, and in a flash a barracuda flew through the middle of the 2 guys hunting the smaller bread eaters - the guys shit themselves and ran - with one of them leaving a whole finger with the barracuda. Think on when bringing food into tropical waters :cool:
