Most dangerous sharks will swim around, check you out and poke you to feel you out, then maybe take a careful gentle bite to taste weather you are edible/standard-menu. (seldom fatal, most often injuries to lower leg)
Some of the bigger ones may sneak attack you, taking a more violent approach and subsequently leave a larger wound, which can be fatal.
Well my "Collins Pocket Guide to Coral Reef Fishes" has this to say about Grey Reef Sharks:-
"Among the most likely of sharks to attack divers, but generally gives a single non-fatal bite."
So that's alright then.......
