Wow, that was close!Once that thought creeps in though, it's difficult to shift. The irrational anticipation of a fast moving shadow coming towards you through clear water is what gives me the heebiejeebies. Strangely enough, if the water is murky, it doesn't even enter my head http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif

Wow, that was close!http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/yikes.gif He was lucky, just the thought of it makes me feel a bit sick tbh, sharks have always scared me, I was far too young when I saw Jaws as a kid.

That must've been absolutely terrifying.This time of the year is the worst for shark attacks in that part of the world due to the sardine run .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardine_run

He was on his board and that saved him.
A swimmer would have been badly injured and maybe lost a leg
