No, but sometimes there are tragic mistakes.
I don't eat shark and I'm expecting they reciprocate, as common curtesy dictates.

I saw Jaws right after it came out when I was in middle school, then my Dad got stationed in Key West. I am not proud of how scared I was when I spotted my 1st 2' nurse shark while I was snorkeling.Watch the movie Jaws if you haven't seen it yet.
The last time I was in Cozumel, I did the normal dive and came up for my safety stop. During my safety stop, I got pushed over the edge of the wall (I was floating over the deep end of the pool).
This freaked me out a little bit. I tried to fin back over the reef, but the drag of the safety sausage and getting hung up in some sargassum really kept me from making any progress in this endeavor.
I know it's somewhat irrational, but I can really imagine some bull shark or other creature looking up from the blackness below and saying, "Lunch!!".
I pretty much don't get this while night diving, which I think is a little weird. I don't think I got it trying to dive with whale sharks in Belize. It's only over the dark abyss that this happens to me. Does anyone else get bugged by the "boogyman"?
The other one was when we went up to the Delgada Trench further north. That place was the freakiest dive of all time for me.
