Well the last ones not really an 'attack' is it. Being as the whale shark is a plankton feeder and just swims along with its mouth open.

The whale shark's a filter feeder, so would be very unlikely to have swallowed the diver...

Snap! ;D

PC, JM, sure, but if you were swimming along and noticed one of those a few yards behind you, I'm not sure you'd be able to rationalise it that calmly.

it would get a meal out of me.

Even though they are not bottom feeders.

20R, if your wear a wetsuit, they might not be tempted.

JH, it's the DM, they're obsessed with sharks because they are big and scary, even though ten times as many people get killed or injured by cows as by sharks. But to be fair, their cow attack coverage is very good as well.
