Acid is acid; if you put water in acid, no biggy, just liquid, but if you put acid in water... it's gonna blow.
DON'T LISTEN TO THIS IDIOT!
Always, always, always add acid to water as a precaution, but ESPECIALLY with sulphuric, which is extremely hydrophylic and produces an exothermic reaction, otherwise you'll be going to hospital and then the plastic surgeon.
Slowly adding the acid to water will ensure that the acid dilutes in the larger volume of water and that the ratio of acid to water is always low and the water is able to disperse the heat and you don't get a runaway reaction.
If you really do need to dilute some concentrated sulphuric acid, the safest way is to freeze the amount of water you need and pour the acid over that.
I'm sorry, but if this is typical of the level of intellectual input on this site then don't do any serious research here, use wikipedia instead.

What happens when water and sulfur mix?
It turns into sulfuric acid. Then add salt, and it becomes hydrochloric acid. Awesome, huh? I have some sulfur, and I am going to try it.
