Some cool stuff on wiki about great whites, they don’t begin to breed until their twenties and thirties and when they get THAT big they may depend largely upon whale carcasses (I didn’t think there were that many dead whales).
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744

Sharks can go an awfully long time between large feedings. Depends on the species, of course, and Great Whites and Makos maintain a higher body temp than the surrounding water, so need more than most. Still a real long time, in human terms. I think the latest data indicates that 66 pounds of blubber is good for about 6 weeks, for a Great White.

For a shark that big, 66 pounds of blubber is a bite or two.
One of the most interesting things I’ve seen related to sharks in recent years was a show about the discovery of a killer whale pod that specialized in killing and eating great white sharks. And then the interaction between them. Some researchers were following a congregation of hundreds of great whites around a seal birthing area and then one morning suddenly as if someone snapped their fingers, all the sharks were gone. Then later that day or the next day that killer whale pod showed up on the scene.
All of you that talk about Darwin awards and the stupidity of that diver need to realize that it's the Great White that you DON'T see that gets you. The one that's been stalking you....
