Default View of a Shark Attacking a Scuba Diver

If you've ever wondered what a shark attack is like, here ya go. There's a new video on YouTube of a small reef shark trying to attack a guy wearing a GoPro camera, who was spearfishing in the Caribbean last Thursday.

Thankfully, he didn't get bitten. And he managed to scare it off by poking at it with his spear. But just from the sound of his breathing, you can tell how freaked out he was.

Read about that on the Cayman Islands News a couple of days ago. He was culling lionfish which are a big problem. Apparently he created the right kind of action to get the shark excited.

The amazing part is the shark kept pursuing him after he dropped the jar of fish...

Beautiful clean water. Lucky it was a small one and alone. A bite and his blood in the water would have have really raised hell.

Not only did he do a good job of fighting the shark off but had the state of mind not to make a b-line to the surface and end up with the "bends". Looked like he stopped to check his depth and probably his air supply to make sure he was still good.
