Sorry, I don't really get it.

I just have a quick question. And in the words of Hooper," I just don't want to get beat up here". Everything I've read or seen states that of all the shark species, the bull is the worst. I don't want to waste anybodys time here, but, if you get in a cadge when a great whites in the water, and the bull sharks the worst, shouldn't you get in a cadge when a bulls in the water?
you go in the cadge
cadge goes in the water
you go in the water
sharks in the water, our shark
My fight instructor taught me that to ask a question is but a moments shame. But to not ask a question, and live a lifetime of ignorance, is a livetime of shame. So here goes. It is apparent that the practice of chumming for sharks is frowned on. So when sharks appear, is it just a coincidence, or is it becasuse you are in a place the sharks frequent? But to me the most important question is, I,ve also read here that it is very important to use a reputable dive operator. Makse sense. But when that shark takes a SPECIAL interest in you or a member of your group. at that point how does the operator protect you? Or does he prevent that situation from happening in the first place? I am not going to quote people here because I believe we are all adults, and would naturally stand behind what we say. I am having a hard time wrapping myself around this procedure, and that is what has kept me from these type of encounters. Once that animal wants to make you his new best friend, whats the procedure from preventing a accident? Or is it making sure that it never gets to that point?
The same thing happened to myself and my wife in saba. Out of no where came a 12 foot hammerhead. Another diver said it was 12 feet as I was too busy reviewing my will on the back of my slate. As fast as it appeared it disappeared which was just fine with me. During our service interval, I decided to go snorkeling, and I'm not ashamed to tell you I kept constantly looking under, back towards my legs to make sure they were still there.
