A great white shark appears – the diver experiences a moment of shock – animals and plants
Nook films the encounter with an action camera. Predatory fish over four meters long can be clearly seen. Even professionals feel uncomfortable about it. In a panic, he summons his colleague, who holds the position in a rubber dinghy above the water.
Diver tries to reach safety
Again and again he looks under the surface of the water to ascertain the whereabouts of the huge predatory fish. The diver tries to remain calm. “It’s strange how something this big can sneak up on him so easily. When I’m in the water with one of these I know there’s not much I can do but be quiet, be ready, and be on the lookout. I have a bayonet, a knife and a bulletproof vest that serves as protection.” says Nock.
It’s not his first encounter with a shark. Usually, a hunter is more concerned about his catch. But when he encounters great white sharks, he takes care to get himself to safety. Nook has managed to photograph a total of seven great white sharks up close in the past few months. “I see great white sharks less often than other sharks. But if you do, it’s a real adrenaline rush.”
Until now, his fellow had always been able to rescue the harpoon hunter from the water at the right time.
