GoPro captures terrifying moment shark attacks influencer - 'wrong place, wrong time'

An influencer named Henry Gibbs, who is based in New Zealand, narrowly avoided losing his leg after a shark attack occurred while he was spearfishing in Fiji. The incident took place on July 24, 2026, and Gibbs described the encounter as happening in the shark's natural habitat where it was hunting its food. He was filming the event and mentioned that the attack could have been significantly worse. After undergoing four surgeries and receiving a skin graft, Gibbs expressed gratitude for his recovery and emphasized the importance of recognizing signs of a shark's aggression. He noted that the shark's behavior, including circling and rushing toward the boat, indicated danger, though he underestimated the threat posed by the animal's size. Gibbs also highlighted the risks associated with wearing camouflage wetsuits in tropical waters and advised others to remain vigilant about shark behavior.
