Actually people pay good money to fly to Australia, Africa, Northern California (Farallon Islands), or Guadalupe Island (Mexico) to get in the water with great white sharks.

Great Whites offshore in North Florida isn't that uncommon in the winter months. They follow the Right Wales during their calfing season hoping to catch a newborn. At the very minimum, the sharks get the afterbirths. Its impressive when you look down from the boat into the water to see a huge eyeball staring back....oh ****, time to pick another dive site.

Though it was not as impressive as diving with them in Guadalupe.

They never thought that Great Whites would show up in Hawaii either. Until this video surfaced:

Interesting note also...they started tagging the great whites off Northern California, and Guadalupe, Mexico and found that treked to a spot midway between Hawaii and California called "The Great White Shark Cafe".
