I have scuba dived many time with barracuda and sharks. Sharks usually swim away very quicky, especially nurse sharks. Count yourself lucky if you get to see one. Barracuda look fiersome but they are actually pretty tame. They have a habit of following divers because they are curious about the bubbles from the regulator. On one site I dove in Cayman they had one you could almost pet. When we dove, he would hang out under the boat. He swam within arms reach of me when I came back up for my safety stop. One thing you have to watch about barracuda is that they can change color to blend in with their environment. Sometimes they are hard to spot. I almost bumed into one head on at Little Cayman's Point-o-Sand beach. Overall, they are pretty docile. They are primarily scavengers so try not to act like a dead fich and you'll be alright. ;-)
