The incident occurred off the coast of New South Wales, with the camera capturing the attack frame by frame.

The crew was aboard a 12-meter sailing catamaran, filming marine life beneath the waves. However, just minutes after the first dive, things spiraled out of control. A group of sharks suddenly emerged from the depths and charged at a female diver holding a camera with bright lights.

In the video published by the Daily Mail, the moment they approach her is clearly seen. Within seconds, at least ten sharks surrounded the diver, who was desperately trying to fend them off while screaming underwater. One of them even headbutted her in the face—without opening its mouth.

Despite the panic, none of the sharks opened their mouths to bite anyone. The diver managed to escape unharmed, and remarkably, the team later returned to the water to continue filming. The footage from the incident was posted online and surpassed 2.4 million views within a few days.

According to Australia’s national shark attack database, over 1,200 incidents have been recorded since 1791, with more than 250 of them being fatal.
