Watch: Terrifying moment shark attacks spearfish diver off Fiji coast

Key Points:

• New Zealand diver Henry Gibbs was attacked by a grey reef shark during his first spearfishing trip off the coast of Fiji on July 19, resulting in significant injuries to his calf.
• The attack was captured on camera, showing the shark circling before suddenly lunging at Gibbs, who required four surgeries and a skin graft but is expected to make a full recovery.
• Gibbs suspects the shark's behavior was triggered by noise from the boat, spearguns, and water movement, and acknowledges he underestimated the threat posed by the shark's size.
• He advises other divers to heed signs of shark agitation and to leave the area if a shark's behavior changes, emphasizing respect for the shark's environment.
• Despite the attack, Gibbs holds no ill will toward the shark, recognizing he was in its territory hunting its food and was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
