The video comes from a new Discovery Shark Week documentary called Great White Open Ocean.

In the show, Jimmy Partington, a dive master and expedition leader at Shark Diving Xperts and Islander Charters in Manchester, UK, goes out in the open ocean to view great white sharks up close.

Statements from Jimmy:

“I’ve spent the last decade in the water observing and studying great whites, without any incidents, so obviously this encounter was quite a surprise!”

“I think the shark was simply curious about what I was, which is how they investigate objects by bumping and sometimes biting.”

“I chose to put myself in that position, and I was aware of the risks. The good news: I wasn’t hurt, and thankfully the shark wasn’t either.”
