Think I've managed to come to terms with the fact that I'm for real sharing the ocean with some Apex predators and may well even get to see some. It actually adds an exciting aspect to it. Got a real time shark tracking app so at least I can see if any Tigers or GWS were recently in the area. I'm going to dive a more isolated spot this Tuesday, a bit excited about it, hasn't been a reported GWS or Tiger shark sighting since December 26th
Thanks for the support people
It's not the ones that were sighted that you need to be worried about....

Much harder to spend money that you do have.

There's a big youth swimming event here around the jetty next week they go out in the morning for training, they finish at around 11. Now all the splashing and bodily fluids have attracted all the sharks I'll go diving 
You're so right @lexvil which I guess is why when you already have money it's easier to get more.

Did another jetty dive today, was nice. Need a 7mm suit, after about 80 mins was quite chilly had air for at least another 30-40 mins, viz an easy 10m, lots of fish and three beautiful cuttle fish. It really is a nice site to dive. I've found my local, well , one of my locals 
Met two locals, got some good info. Need to join FB, apparently there's a group called South West WA Divers, they post that they are going to dive at X location and meet at X time and apparently you can join them, by both accounts a friendly bunch.
Met a guy who's been diving the jetty for 25 years twice a week, he said in all that time he's only seen one shark, a 2m tiger two years back which just casually swam by him. Another guy said he saw a 3m bull at another nearby site and it scared him out of the water for a year, said he lost his nerves after that encounter.
Today I was not bothered at all, in fact today I thought I saw a fin in the distance and actuality began swimming towards it would you believe.
All's good in my diving world
Thanks a bunch for all the support, encouragement, info and perspective.
You all know I'm off my sh-t.
