This is incredible. On January 5, 2010, Dale Kobetich was shooting photos at the Newport Beach, CA pier when he was approached and attacked by a 6 foot long Mako shark. Fortunately Dale had a large water housing protecting his camera and fended off the beast with it.

Commenting on the encounter, Kobetich said, "I remember hearing a tourist say, "What are you doing? Is that a dolphin? He's big." But 150% of my attention was on the shark and keeping the housing between me and him. Water photography in Newport Beach will never be the same!"
