Well, we just returned from a month on Da Rock, and glad to say no shark sightings of any consequence for us this trip.  Unfortunately while we were there, 3 shark incidents happened, 2 on the southside and 1 on the north shore. Thank Pele no fatalities.
We did see one 5-6ft reef shark down deep in 30-40 ft of water while out in a 6 man canoe, down by the Fairmont, however.
Sharktober time....keep ur head on a swivel boyz n girls....

A marine biologist I was talking to about shark sighting said "the ones you see have already decided you aren't food".  I'm not sure that's always true, but it's certainly so a lot of the time. The are ambush predators an have had a few zillion years to perfect their gig.

Kinda flies in the face of the old adage: "What you don't know (or don't see) cant hurt you..."
