Better to dive in such a way as to leave the big boss his space and you go on your merry way. Way over there.
There are many other things that worry me more than a White out here, chief among them is me; then there's the other diver, the surge on that urchin-covered rock...

That's some excellent thinking there and one of the best posts I've seen in a while.
I am fortunate to dive in an area where we don't generally get visits from the big boys, but we sometimes (seldom) hear about one lurking around.
Even though I don't spearfish, I occasionally end up in the water with spearos, sometimes in lousy vis.
As worried as I may get about what may be lurking in that murky water, you are quite right in saying that there are things far more likely to cause me trouble, so I just try and relax and hope I can find a convenient rock in a hurry if I have to
