I wouldn't be jumping in the water with a shark on purpose! It was bad enough when i wasn't expecting it. Got stuck on wrong side of Great Keppel Island with my kids and couldn't get round the rocks so i swan kids climbed. 45min later heard a splash and 2 fins out of the water between me & rocks, I froze kids had to convince me to come in to the rocks.Unfortunately it was sunset & my toe was cut and i was on top of reef. Never again even if it's only a black tip reefy.
Miles away? We're talking about ones right next to you. This shark was not agitated, yet the cameraman fled backwards from the shark. Which instinctively attracts aggressive sharks.
i repeat, tell that to someone who's had eight years of experience with sharks. you're probably right about the eyesight thing, but not about swimming towards it. sharks can hear you from miles away and if you sound like a fish struggling, the shark will obviously confuse you for food. it's logic, my friend.

You don't have a clue.

Then you should study more.
Like Blue sharks, Oceanic white tips have VERY good eyesight.
