They're generally not overly aggressive, but they're not necessarily so harmless and have been responsible for attacks on men. As they're deep water sharks, many of the attacks have been on sailors whose ships have gone down at sea. Deep water sharks such as blues, makos, and oceanic white tips are opportunistic feeders, as food sources are more rare. This makes unlucky sailors a target of these animals.
Well, the one I saw swam right past me. If he had wanted a bite, there would have been little I could have done to stop him.
