very little, there is no recorded fact that a wild killer whale has ever attacked a human.
the only time you never dare go near an orca is in the breeding session. the bulls will play with almost anything, they have been know to plat around with the boats during this time. but their playing can get you kill if you fall in the water.

What would make you decide not to scuba dive?
I would decide not to scuba dive -- or climb a mountain, or parachute from an airplane -- if I felt the potential risks and costs outweighed the potential benefits. In the case of scuba diving, such risks include SCUBA apparatus failure, the Bends, nitrogen narcosis, shark attack, or being stranded in mid-sea following a group diving expedition. There would also be the cost of training, certification, and equipment (whether renting or purchasing). How I weigh these against the benefits of diving (the likelihood of adventure, potential for learning, bragging rights among my peer group, etc.) is a judgment call that only I can make for me, and only you would be able to make for yourself.
