I agree with you in principle. However, I choose not to dive in South Africa and California because I choose to avoid being in the water with a GW. By the same token, I don't seek out Tiger sharks. I don't go on feeding dives or cage dives.
I've been diving with plenty of other kinds of sharks and quite loved it.
I was very pleased to see sharks on local dives out of San Pedro, Belize for example, because it indicated a healthier system.
I'm always aware that sharks may see me but I may not see them. That's OK.
I've been diving in the Red Sea at Brothers. There were Oceanic White Tips around. While I appreciated their beauty, I was not thrilled to be in the water with them.
I don't particularly like being in the water with bull sharks either but I've been quite snuggly with gray reef sharks, white tips, black tips, etc.
