In my experience there is BIGGER factors than bubbles with regards to sharks getting close or not for sure.I disagree with the premise that sharks are afraid of bubbles - I haven't seen any documentation or studies that suggest let alone conclusively show that they are. Whereas I have seen quite a bit of evidence that shows that sharks will approach and look at divers who are on scuba.
I can appreciate what rebreather divers say regarding their ability to approach fish. However, I think there is a huge leap from that to sharks being afraid of bubbles.
Moving fast towards sharks or excessive limb movements is not good things if you want to have a close look at them and the infernal tank bangers and low pressure duck quacker **** that people is using seems to be MADE for the purpose of keeping them away...
