Lecap:Even the so feared Great Whites usually leave divers alone. This also matches with my recent encounter. As far as my research went there is only one reported attack on a diver in scuba gear by a Great White worldwide. This was in 1991 when a diver got attacked at the surface (after being there for quite a while). The attack happened next to a seal colony off Mossel Bay / S.A. which is famous for hunting Great Whites.
