Question: How could the shark see Samuel Jackson just before it killed him? It wouldn't be able to smell him because he had no blood on him plus he wasn't in the water.

Answer: I disagree with the other answer. It wasn't waiting for them, neither did it smash the non-existent escape pod to lure them in (it was a submarine used for study, and it was the explosion which caused it to become damaged) The answer is sound. Samuel's character was shouting at all the others and as a result the shark heard him. Sharks have better hearing than humans and they can hear sounds from 800ft away underwater.

Answer: The shark was waiting for them to come that way. It'd already smashed the escape pod. All the shark did was to lure in the water until someone got near enough for it to grab them. The sharks were unnaturally intelligent, so it seems fair that this was a part of their plan.
