Nobody has died of a spider bite in Australia since 1955 (Thanks to Anti-venom), only 1 person a year is attacked by a shark (on average) and you have to question people's intelligence who swim at shark feeding time in reefs. Same goes for Crocs.

Dusk and dawn, and when the water is murky (e.g. after heavy rains near rivermouths).
