While diving off Fort Pierce Florida I had a Tiger swinm nearby and it scared the pooh out of me. I clung to the underside of a ledge and it went away and I got out of the water.
Lobster diving at the time.
Have seen a few bulls and they are more frightening.
Played with nurse and a large hammerhead estuary is in the Indian river just south of here.
Have even seen a whale shark but didn’t go in the water with it as I was trolling at the time for Phelagics.

You’ve seen a Tiger in the water. You’re 1 up on me. My theory is that any ocean dive is by definition a shark dive — you just mostly don’t see them (but they ‘see’ you). The risk can be managed with most species. Tigers, Bulls & Whites are not among them.
