- Henry Gibbs, a New Zealand-based ocean enthusiast and content creator, survived a gray reef shark attack while spearfishing off Fiji on July 19. The dramatic encounter was captured on video and has circulated widely online.
- Several gray reef sharks circled beneath Gibbs when one suddenly charged, biting his leg and dragging him in a 'death roll.' Friends pulled him from the water to safety.
- "Four surgeries and a skin graft later, it's looking like I'll make a full recovery, which I'm hugely grateful for," Gibbs wrote in a social media post. He was treated in Fiji before being flown to New Zealand for additional surgeries.
- Admitting he made a mistake, Gibbs said, "I never thought a shark of that size posed much of a threat." He believes he was fortunate to have survived the encounter.
- Gibbs holds "no hard feelings towards the shark," noting he was in its environment hunting its food. He plans to share the footage to help others avoid similar situations and learn proper response tactics.
