Rodney Winston Fox (born 1940) did. He was attacked in 1963 by a great white and went on to invent the first underwater observation cage in Australia. Jacques Yves Cousteau also 'invented' a shark cage which is shown in his book, The Silent World, co-authored with Frederick Dumas published in 1953. Cousteau's shark cage was used in a film of the same name which won an Academy Award as the Best Feature-length documentary of 1954

dwarf stunt actor in a miniature cage, to make the shark look
bigger.

Jaws the shark was never alive; they used mechanical sharks.
The only real shark footage in the original Jaws is when
Matt Hooper is being attacked in the underwater cage. That was shot
in Australia, using a real shark and a very tiny diver in a
miniature cage, to make the shark look bigger. Presumably that
shark swam off after the filming and was never seen or heard from
again.

Asked in Sharks
Can you get killed by shark cage diving?
Extremely unlikely. The worst that could possibly happen is that
the cage is torn away from the boat however most of the cages are
designed to float and therefore no chance of drowning. Also when
you actually go shark diving you will realise that they are pretty
much only interested in the fish and very rarely try to attack the
cage.
