Alexa: whale sharks only eat plankton, algae, etc - they are a slow filter-feeding shark, but being the the largest living fish species I'm sure that it would be pretty scary to suddenly come across one while s/diving. It is quite fun apparently to find one to swim with. You hold on to the fin while it slowly moves around.
A friend of mine nearly straddled a Zambezi shark while we were all descending onto the sea bed. A few in our crowd (once they noticed!)nearly grew 'tails'!! lol
Sharks rarely attack scuba divers. It's the deep sea spear fishermen who get nailed if they are not careful, as they carry freshly speared fish with them. This attracts the sharks as you can imagine.
