Being in the water with a great white shark is going to prove terrifying for a large majority of people, but how about this for a huge skrik?

The exact details of this one are hazy, although many are reporting that it took place somewhere in Western Australia.

Wherever it was filmed, and whatever the details, I think we can conclude that this diver has earned the right to have a stiff drink when back on dry land.

WA Today offer these details:

Video of an apparent salvage diver’s close encounter with a great white shark has gone viral.

The footage first appeared on SA Spearfishing and Young Bloods Inc’s (an Australian ocean adventure group) social media pages on Sunday afternoon…

Less than 24 after it appeared online, it had been viewed more than two million times.

SA Spearfishing claimed the video was taken by the son of the diver, a salvage diver…

Strap yourself in:

Wow. There go any thoughts of a career in salvage diving.

Still, not many can say they have been on the receiving end of a shark headbutt and emerged unscathed.
