There are a few people in the world who love to be relatively close to danger.
Others like to stay far away, pretty much like us. Especially when there is a great white shark in the picture.
As one of the world's top predators, a great white shark is not something you play around with. For a few fisherman, their day become a whole lot more interesting when their small fishing boat was surrounded by a large shark.
It was a big shark! The great white can be seen circling the boat, even popping its head out of the water, while it tries to bite the boat.
The moment was partially captured on camera by Andrew Russell, who told The Advertiser that it circled the boat for around 10 minutes, and he estimated it to be around 4.5 metres long.
"It wasn't aggravated or anything like that — it was pretty placid," he told the newspaper. "It just cruised around." Still pretty hectic.
All that we know is that these people are very brave!
Are you brave enough to get this close to a great white shark?
