I didn't say they weren't coming for the chum. The chum brought them to the surface. The fishing activity on the boat caused them to circle deep waiting for the optimum time to eat tuna. What I was implying was the the fishing boats were teaching the sharks to come to boats. They have already been to school and know what to expect when a boat arrives. The diving activities are just capitalizing on this new learned behaviour.
