Yeah, I used to do a bit of scuba diving and we ran into sharks now and then (never great whites though!). They normally disappeared pretty quickly when they realised we weren't "normal" because of all the bubbles we were blowing out. One of my mates was after a re-breather (which doesn't give any exhaust bubbles) so he could get closer to the sharks. Err, right. I just breathed extra fast to put out as many bubbles as I could and scare the buggers off!

I would of torn a whole in the ass end of my wetsuit too, just so I could 'Parp' out some extra bubbles as well.
