When you have years of diving experience under your belt, you've most likely seen your share of scary stuff while under the water. While seeing things like giant whales, stingrays, and eels can be fascinating when you are prepared to spot them, running into a predator deep down under the water when you least expect it can be extremely frightening.
The diver in this next video gets one those terrifying, unexpected visitors but somehow he manages to stay fairly calm.
We have seen plenty of wild animal encounters before, and we know that they typically end with either the people or the animal involved running in the opposite direction out of some serious fear.
The situation where a man screamed at a bear when he was being aggressively approached is anything but typical, while the video of the man and bear who spooked each other seems like a more reasonable scenario.
But when you can't physically run because you are in a full wetsuit and gear underwater, what do you do?
Well, when YouTube user grayshep encountered a great white while spear fishing, he did the only thing he could: He swam as fast as possible back to the boat he had started the day out on…but not until he got some good video to use as proof when telling all his friends back on board!
If seeing a great white would scare you back on to the boat, please SHARE!
