THIS is the moment an unsuspecting British diver was attacked by a great white shark as it clenched its jaws around his GoPro. The incredible footage captures the inside of the gigantic beast’s mouth as it tries to take a bite out of the underwater camera.

The brave diver, who works as a videographer and is founder of White Shark Ocean project, captured the video in Mossel Bay, South Africa. Once in the water, Graham suddenly saw the ocean predator circling the boat. The shark then roars over to him and gets up close and personal. It seems to be especially inquisitive about the mysterious electrical device on his head and takes a closer look. The footage shows the great white shark opening its giant jaws to reveal all of its sparkling and sharp gnashers. Despite its proximity to Graham’s face, he says that he never felt scared or uncomfortable. Instead, he said he was impressed by how gentle the beast had been. “The shark was super inquisitive, having such a personal and gentle interaction with such a big animal felt extremely captivating. “It was an incredibly gentle interaction from the shark,” he added. “It was just trying to figure out what the strange electrical thingy in the water was. “People seem to love the clip. I think when it gently bumps the camera at the end people get a little freaked out. “Their electro receptors can pick up the GoPro so they get super curious and come in close to investigate.” It comes as a footage captured the chilling moment another massive great white shark in South Africa glides silently towards three unsuspecting surfers. The 10ft beast sniffed its way towards competitors in an elite surfing championship in Jeffreys Bay – the scene of a spine-chilling attack only years earlier. The great white can be seen swimming along the coast and stalking its way towards them. Earlier this month, it was announced that great white sharks could soon appear in UK waters including at a popular tourist destination. Marine experts at Ocearch claimed the predators could migrate north from the Mediterranean in search of seals and begin appearing off the shores of northern France and around Cornwall. Their investigations show that the creatures have been increasingly spotted off the New England coast in the US in recent years. Chris Fischer, founder of Ocearch, told the Times: “We believe that Mediterranean white sharks should be moving north to feed on seals, like all the other populations we have worked on. “We believe they should be moving up past Brest [in Brittany] and Cornwall.”
