While Great White attacks are actually very rare, most of the attacks on humans are from Bull Sharks which inhabit fresh and salt water. They are the only sharks that are able to do this.
The 2 other largest sharks are Whales and Basking sharks which you can swim with off cornwall and devon shores usually around summer. Baskers get up to 20ft and like most large animals in the sea live of plankton, krill etc.
BUT wouldnt it be cool if sharks were like the Mako sharks in Deep Blue Sea, makos can normally jump extremely high so imagine how cool theyd be if they were triple the size and intelligance.

It would add a little excitment to your average trip to englands shitty beaches.

My grandmother used to live in Cornwall and she like the basking sharks.

As for the deep blue sea thing, if they were like that I might think twice about going in the water. The film itself pretty much explains that it's a bad thing.
