Have you seen enough of Shark Week to make you afraid of taking a dip in the ocean?

The odds are astronomically small that you’ll be bitten. Take it from some shark attack survivors who are now shark conservation advocates, thanks to a little organizing by the Pew Environment Group.

Don't forget to tune in to Shark Week, starting Aug. 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the Discovery Channel.

Below are some easy tips to lessen your chances of an attack but if you end up in a shark’s jaws, some of the survivors offer advice:

Krishna Thompson, Wall Street banker who nearly died and lost a leg: “Do not let water go up your nose or in your mouth. Keep trying to get the shark off your body: kick, punch, use your body weight, etc. Fight back! Never quit.”

Mike deGruy, California filmmaker who suffered a serious arm injury: “Know that only a very small percentage of attacks are fatal, so use this as confidence that you will get out of this mess with scars and a great story to tell down at the pub. Or, eat a lot of onion and garlic before diving –- no self-respecting shark would like that taste!”

Al Brenneka, founder of Shark Attack Survivors support group, who lost an arm: “Slowing down the water moving through the gills can cause the shark to think it’s drowning. If going for the gills, use an open hand, not a fist. Use your whole foot not just the heel or toes. If you have the opportunity to jab the shark in the eye, put your thumb in and don’t stop pushing and twisting. The last choice is hitting the shark’s snout. It is very easy to miss a moving shark and put another part of your body near its mouth. So use your fist or the heel of your foot and hit with as much force as possible, always trying to hit the top of the snout not near the teeth. If you’re a rescuer, don’t play tug of war with the shark trying to pull the victim out of the shark’s mouth. Close the water flow through the gills with a towel or shirt.”
