Check out this tense moment a group of spearfishers come face-to-face with a massive tiger shark off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii.
Bradley Dimawala, from Kailua, Hawaii, captured the nerve-racking encounter while spearfishing in Hawaiian waters.
The video shows two tiger sharks approaching the group after fish activity in the area attracted the predators.
According to Bradley, one shark measured around seven feet long, while the larger shark was estimated to be more than 10 feet in length.
The bigger shark can be seen circling nearby for several minutes, repeatedly approaching the divers as they remained calm in the water.
As the shark became increasingly curious, Bradley gently tapped it on the nose with his speargun to encourage it to keep its distance and maintain a safe buffer.
After the close encounter, the group decided to return to their kayak and end the dive for the day.
Bradley said: “The larger shark circled us for several minutes and became a little too curious.”
Viewers shared their thoughts on the encounter in the comments. One wrote: “Good thing you didn't panic.” Another added: “Prob shouldn't be diving if you're that scared of a little tiger.”
