Another user wrote, “Don’t run if you find a shark in the water! Keep your eye on it the whole time. Always keep an eye on it, and if you have a sharp object in your hand, take it.” Go out and be ready to defend yourself.”
A third user wrote, “Probably bad visibility for us…the shark had controlled that position 1 km away.”
A fourth user commented, “You’re right, if a great white shark spawned 3 feet in front of me and headbutted me, I would definitely find it freakishly awful.”
According to WA Today, the video was shot by the diver’s son, who is also a diver.
