You are right -- if you are scuba diving at Universal Studios in Hollywood there is a possibility that a big rubber shark may attack you. (the same one from the movie)
Actually you are in more danger from Moray Eels - their teeth can penetrate flesh or wet suits with great ease. (about 100 needle like teeth) In 25 years of Scuba I have only seen sharks once and they ignored me.
