An incident occurred off the coast of New South Wales, captured on camera in stunning detail.
The crew, aboard a 12-meter sailing catamaran, was busy filming marine life beneath the waves when chaos erupted just minutes after the first diver’s descent. A group of sharks suddenly surfaced and charged at a female diver who was holding a brightly lit camera.
The footage, shared by the Daily Mail, clearly shows the sharks closing in on her. Within moments, at least ten sharks surrounded the diver, who was frantically trying to push them away while underwater. One shark even headbutted her without opening its mouth.

Despite the tension, none of the sharks attempted to bite. Fortunately, the diver emerged unscathed, and surprisingly, the team returned to the water to continue filming afterwards. The incident’s video quickly garnered over 2.4 million views online within just a few days.
According to Australia’s national shark attack database, there have been over 1,200 recorded incidents since 1791, including more than 250 fatalities.
