Scuba Divers Dave Richards, and Nathan Podmore told Australia’s 7News they were ten minutes into a spearfishing trip when the shark began to circle them.

The two men were able to remain calm, working together to intimidate the shark so that they could escape with their lives.

They were able to deter the shark by prodding it with their spear guns.

According to the West Australian, the shark was a Western Pointer. Saying the shark was about 13 feet in length.
