According to the International Shark Attack File(ISAF), between 1958 and 2016 there were 2,785 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 439 were fatal.[16] Between 2001 and 2010, an average of 4.3 people per year died from shark attacks.[3]
Still very low, but nearly 100 times higher than your number.
This indicates that, statistically speaking, sharks aren’t dangerous.
Sharks have caused 7 deaths in some 50 years.
Cows have killed about 13 people in the Netherlands in a decade.

Well, I guess you are there intentionally, so enjoy yourself!
If you go swimming, stuff some raw steaks in your swimsuit. If a shark attacks, you can feed it the steak and it’ll leave you alone :)
I plan on bringing waterproof tp with, incase I do see a shark 😅
Care to expand on that?
This is a LGBTQ friendly instance, most people here won’t be terribly welcome in those countries.
Also not the most stable region ATM either.
