Terrifying video shows the moment a giant great white shark attacks a cave containing a diver

Horrifying footage shows an expert on the trail of a “serial killer” of a great white shark being left absolutely mauled by an 18ft predator who targets the floats on his cage and risks trapping him on the ocean floor.

If you’re brave enough, you can watch the horrifying footage below:

and ultimately put his life at risk trying to track down a shark responsible for several attacks on California’s Surf Beach.

Experts put forward the frightening theory that the same shark returned to the site to kill every two years on or almost the same day.

That’s creepy.

A shark with revenge? No thanks.

In 2008, a winemaker’s board was bitten by a shark on the beach, but it managed to escape.

On October 22, 2010, a 19-year-old bodybuilder was killed on the beach, and on October 23, 2012, a 39-year-old man was also killed.

Then, in October 2014, a surfer and a group of kayakers were attacked on the spot, although luckily they all survived.

If we talk about the first three attacks in 2013: Big white serial killer Director Jeff Kerr told the Hollywood Reporter: “In investigating these attacks and using forensic evidence, I discovered that the sharks were over 16 feet long.”

“This is one of the largest great white sharks of all time. This is very rare for a shark in California waters, which personally leads me to believe it is the same shark.”

The Discovery show follows a group of divers who go on an expedition to California’s Surf Beach, where the same great white shark reportedly appears.

Kurr called it “a crime thriller with sharks.”

This CSI-style forensic study shows experts analyzing the bite patterns left behind and even analyzing DNA samples from victims’ tooth fragments.

But the craziest method of all? To get closer to the shark, Brandon McMillan, the host decided to climb into a cage in the sea and “lure” the shark to him to see if it could “feel the vulnerability of humans.”

Well, that was certainly the case, and it wasn’t long before the scene took a frightening turn.

In a scene that aired in 2013, McMillan was suspended in the sea by a cage, a pulley and two floats on either side.

Then a giant beast, not confirmed to be the Great White serial killer, appears out of nowhere to inspect.

Kurr said it was “the biggest shark I’ve ever seen in 23 years.” Shark week‘.

As it gets closer, a voice-over explains that it appears to become “safe” to approach, as it senses its prey in a vulnerable state.

Then it pounces on one of the swimmers attached to the cage.

Could it be “Tough Guy”? discovery

During the teardown, the shark can be seen thrashing around and shaking the cage, which was very terrifying for the presenter.

Anyway, the cage is now one swimmer lower, and it’s pointed out off-camera that if he goes to the other one, he’s in danger of sinking to the seabed inside the cage, and that would seriously endanger his life.

The shark eventually swam away, but Brandon must have feared for his life.

More him than me, I would say.
