Footage captures terrifying moment shark attacks spearfishing diver
Original caption
A diver's camera caught the terrifying moment a shark circling below him darted up to attack him, biting his legs. Henry Gibbs, who was out spearfishing off the coast of Fiji, said he had to undergo four surgeries and a skin graft after the incident, but added that he still has his leg and will have full use of his foot post-recovery. #news #diving #fiji #shark #sharkattack
