I guess it would depend on the size of the shark. If we're talking Jaws, regardless of if you fight or not you're beyond screwed; if we're being realistic -- 15 or so feet -- there are two basic things you can do:
1.) Remain still as the shark approaches. This really shouldn't be too hard, as you'll probably need all your concentration to not defecate all over yourself. Submerge your head and open your eyes. Yes, the seawater may hurt a bit, but so will an ass full of teeth.
2.) Try to keep your upper torso above the gaping maw of teeth. Focus slashing attacks on the eyes -- literally, dig your thumbs into the eye sockets. It's just about the only way to fight a swimming death machine who's mistaken you for a seal.
A friend of the family once got bitten by a shark when he was surfing out in Cali. He said it was only a 10 footer or so, but it took a nice chunk out of his left shoulder. The only way he got it to let go was to slam his fists into its eyes. I take his word for it.
