Yes

Most are the ones that if provoked will attack.

***********Or you may just be Surfing, or wading in knee-deep water and a school of feeder fish may be luring the sharks quite near the beach. So how do you provoke a shark?

There are sharks in the US Virgin Islands, but the chances of anyone seeing one is not good, according to a US National Park Service marine biologist there. Sharks are rare. Maho Bay in S. John is small compared to Leinster Bay to the north, and the swimming area is a shallow shelf.

Yes, there are many, and I can tell you this from experience. While in the Marine Corps I was stationed in Hawaii for a time. Our training involved much diving off the island coast. Sharks were one of my main concerns. Let me add, you will find sharks in almost every part of the world.
