I've run into white sharks twice now. Once about 6 miles off San Onofre while trying to restart a flooded 2-stroke on my buddy's old center console. 8-9 footer was circling under us like a vulture waiting for one of us to jump in. The other time was much scarier. Was doing some free-diving about a quarter mile offshore of Laguna. When I was about mid-level in the water column, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I turned to see it was a small great white casually turning way from me and swimming off. Never felt that vulnerable in my life. The surface was 10 feet above any structure to hold onto was still 10-15 feet below. No spear gun or anything to even attempt to defend myself with. Just me floating in the middle of the water like a damn shark lure. Not a good time.
