Aaahh, I've dived with sharks lots. Safer than driving in your car, that's for sure! The largest were 12-14 foot Lemon Sharks. They have the capacity to do you some damage, so it is an unusual feeling when they are headed toward you.

I was more frightened by diving with seal lions. The male seal lion made it VERY clear that he didn't want you bothering his harem. He was very fast, very manouverable and very threatening!

I agree, I've dove with several large sharks, including 9-10 foot bull sharks and although they were curious I never felt threatened. As with most things you see when diving if they don't feel threatened by you and you use some common sense they generally leave you alone.
