Sharks
The reason you stay on the boat.
Threat Level
EXTREME
Active in deep water. Bull Sharks may enter rivers.
The waters surrounding Vice City are beautiful but deadly. While Great Whites patrol the deep ocean (likely serving as the map boundary enforcers), the real threat in GTA 6 is the Bull Shark. [Image of shark silhouette underwater]
Known for their aggression and ability to tolerate fresh water, Bull Sharks can swim up the rivers of the Grassrivers, meaning you aren't safe just because you aren't in the ocean. The smell of blood or excessive splashing will attract them rapidly.
