It seems that shark attacks are on land and in the right in open water?

I dive in Kona, Hawaii, and I am a little scared of sharks, that I saw this TV show on Discovery about shark attacks and I Freak Out! anyone know if they attack a large number divers?

Most shark attacks divers and surfers (because they look like joints). The reason why most attacks are near the east coast, because more people are on shore in deep water. Sharks are not looking for people, not very tasteful. They are simply confused by combinations. If you dive with professionals who will lead you to safety. For if something does not swim any bleeding.
