This cameraman is definitely braver than most of us!
A video of a great white shark that came dangerously close to a cameraman has gone viral.
According to Daily Star, the four-meter long predator went up to the surface in the hopes of catching its prey, but instead went right into the cameraman's path.
Naturally, this lead to the shark charging towards the cameraman, who doesn't seem to be bothered by the creature as he didn't even move one bit.
According to reports, the shark, which has been given given the nickname 'scarlet', had been hanging around the bay for a month. Having witnessed it on a number of occasions, the cameraman decided to delve into the water for the perfect shot.
The video has received mixed responses on social media, with some saying the cameraman was being irresponsible by putting his life in danger like that, and others calling it a scene from the 'Jaws' movie.
