Swimmer jumps into ocean to touch basking shark, it turns out be great white | Watch

Footage of a man jumping into the ocean to touch a ‘harmless' basking shark has left internet users amazed. Shared on Reddit by user ‘PublicFreakout’, the clip shows a man diving into the ocean to swim with a shark, only to panic and realise it could be great white one, which is considered to be less harmful, however, research indicates that their attacks could be fatal. The video, which has now taken the internet by storm, has sparked fear and amazement among netizens. 

In the clip, one can see a man on a boat watching a shark’s fin moving above the water’s surface. The man can then be seen diving into the ocean, while the shark could be seen thrashing around before going underwater. After diving and getting closer to the fish, the man could be heard saying ‘that was a bad idea’. Another person can be heard in the background asking him to ‘get back on the boat’. The man who jumped then could be seen returning to the safety of the boat and saying ‘Ah I touched it!’. In the end, the man said, “It’s not a basking shark dude”.
