It’s not often Karl Stefanovic is left speechless, but video of a monster 4.5m [nearly 15ft] shark leaping out of the water was enough for him to take a moment of silent awe on-air before saying he would "never go back in the water".
Stefanovic introduced the segment looking at new technology that has allowed cameramen for the Discovery Channel to get closer than ever while filming great whites.
Their new underwater vessels include a mobile cage called the W.A.S.P (Water Armour Shark Protection) that enables divers to walk along the ocean floor while filming sharks, although being that close to the predators does not look to be a comfortable experience.
The video showed one diver walking along the ocean floor off the coast of New Zealand oblivious to a large shark approaching from behind, until his colleagues let him know at the last moment.
"You never want a white shark to get this close to your head," the diver said afterwards.

The shark in the video ( not the rubber Jaws shark) is much bigger than 15ft - that’s a 20-25 ft monster.

Well, they took the money to the bank and kept a lot of people out of the water even to this day. Too bad they can't train the sharks to hum the attack theme as warning. Thing to remember, on land we are humans, in the water & swimsuits we are PREY!

When I lived in California, there was an incident where an abalone diver was bit by a shark. The shark basically swallowed his head and bit down hard enough to leave a “necklace” of teeth marks on the guy, front and back, but then spit him out and swam away. The guy survived with only minor injuries.

That appears to be a WW2 USAF pilot survival knife made by Sydney Bros. of Australia.
