Woman conquers her fear by swimming with over 20 sharks

A woman has tamed her fear of sharks - by swimming with more than 20 of them.

Muthi Annuriy, 29, has always been scared of sharks but decided to conquer that during a trip to the Maldives.

Heart-pounding video shows Muthi laying on her back as the nurse sharks swim around her.

As her confidence grows, she can be seen swimming deeper underneath the swarm.

Muthi, a teacher from Indonesia, said: "It was incredible!

"They were nurse sharks so they are relatively harmless and docile.

"It felt safe to swim among them as long as we respected their space and refrained from touching them."
