A BRIT has told of the horror moment he watched a fellow diver be savaged by a shark while on holiday in Egypt.
Dan White and his fiance had been completing their deep diver certifications near Brothers Island in 2018 when the horror attack occurred.
He caught the terrifying moment the Oceanic White Tip shark sunk its teeth into a German tourist’s leg in the Red Sea.
Dan told the BBC’s Why Sharks Attack: “We were only five metres deep, swimming around and having a little look.
“Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a dark shadow, I turned to see what it was and it was a shark.
“That’s when I pulled up the go pro and started filming.”

The video shows the shark had made its way over to Dan, who was with a group of five divers and two instructors.
He explained: “The shark was pretty placid and then its behaviour flipped on itself.
“It came down to the divers level and started investigating. It took a great interest in the male driver’s fins.
“The diver was kicking away to fend it off.”
