Occasionally sharks do attack divers for no apparent reason, but it's very rare. I compare it to walking out west and stumbling across some bison. They can easily hurt or even kill you, so you should have your guard up, but if you don't threaten them, and you're not holding food, they'll probably ignore you. I've seen a few videos of people diving off of NC where the sharks came up and inspected the divers' lights. When I see one or a few swimming lazily along or sleeping, I'm happy to see them. They're so badass.
