29-year-old diver Holly Mae Corke experienced a close encounter with a great white shark while spearfishing off Cuttagee, near Bermagui, Australia. After feeling a tug on her leg, she turned to see the shark and quickly swam to safety on a rock. Dr. Brianna Le Busque, a shark behavior expert, suggested the shark may have mistaken Corke's fin for a seal's flipper. Both emphasized that negative shark encounters are rare and encouraged understanding of shark behavior.
