Scuba Diving Shark Encounter
As reported by Mr Nerham, he was diving collecting abalone in the ocean southeast of Melbourne once he all of a sudden discovered himself halfway in the huge jaws of the 11 foot long monster with the serrated jaws grinding on him. He informed Australia‘s Nine Network News that he was so amazed at the outset that he was not sure exactly what was transpiring. ‘I went inside the oral cavity. My shoulder blades, my head and one arm went straight down it’s throat and also I could sense the teeth crunching down and up on my scuba diving tank.’ he described to journalists coming from his hospital bed.
Mr Nerham, a father of 3 teenage kids discovered that his only plan of escaping from the shark ended up being by stabbing repeatedly at the creature’s eye using his abalone chisel when the shark begun to shake him side to side in a horrible vice like grip round his hips. The actual wrestle was so brutal that Mr Nerham’s regulator (breathing device) was knocked out of his lips preventing him from breathing as well as his diver’s face mask destroyed.
The shark must definitely have been hurt by means of Mr Nerham’s strong stabbing of the eye that it all of a sudden paused, and then suddenly opened up its mouth just in time for Mr Nerham to break free from the shark’s lethal teeth. The gallant scuba diver next swam painfully towards the shoreline accompanied by the shark not very far behind .

Assaults from the Great White sharks are usually deadly and this scuba diver must have been really fortunate to have escaped this monster of the deep.
