There are a couple of things I have the greatest respect for. Large predators are one of those. Tough guys like this Australian guy is another. Wow, here we're talking sharkarate!
Story:
An Australian diver who was attacked head-first by a huge great white shark today described how he spent two minutes in the darkness of its jaws before poking it in the eye and escaping.
Eric Nerhus, 41, was almost swallowed when he was diving for seafood off the southern coast of New South Wales yesterday. The professional diver and black-belt karate exponent was prising abalone off rocks nine metres (30ft) below the surface when the 3m (9ft) shark suddenly swam out of the sea weed and attacked.
"I was hit very hard. I wasn't sure what had happened. I was in a dark cave that was squashing me like a vice," he said.
Mr Nerhus said the impact knocked his oxygen regulator from his mouth and for the next few seconds, he feared he was about to become "fish food".
