  • Me and my daughter were threatened by a Bull Shark once while snorkelling here in an east coast Australian river mouth. It came very close then swam away and then came back, its movements were quick and unpredictable. Luckily we were close to the rocks and swam like f**k. My wife who was on the edge said she never seen me move so fast. I was into scuba for a few years before, but it put me off com
