I don't want to be the turd in the punch bowl here, but I don't think that solution would really be all that helpful in this situation anyway.

Worth a try, sharks are attracted to distressed/weakened movements, like an ungainly human trying to swim.

But you’re probably right, they’ve turned up already, they’d probably take a bite just for the sake of politeness at this point

Hmmm? You put the life saver over your head and around your torso and then the people on the boat pull you out of the water. It’s pretty much his only chance: get out of the water before a shark attacks.

If you lounge on top of it with your head, arms, and feet out of the water, maybe they would only eat your ass?
