A diver was pinned to the ocean floor by a great white shark off Ocean Reef, with the shark circling him for approximately 10 minutes while his oxygen depleted. Tanvir Dillon wedged himself in a ledge to hide from the predator before eventually signalling his dive mates and making it safely back to the boat. Despite the terrifying encounter, the experienced diver emphasises the importance of staying calm during such crises and respects that divers are visitors in the shark's territory.
