Diver escapes from shark's throat

Diver escapes from shark's throat : "The shark grabbed Mr Nerhus by the head, crushing his face mask inwards and breaking his nose, said friend and fellow diver Dennis Luobikis."
Some people are incredible. Some people can keep thinking even when the circumstances are dire. This man was being eaten by the shark but he thought to poke it in the eye and he managed to escape. The people around him were quick to rescue him and give him first aid, so their capacity to act efficiently under dire circumstances is also praiseworthy. We have had a lot of sharks on our coast this summer. That's when they come and most divers are aware of it and the shark patrols let you know where they are, but a 3m white pointer can appear out of nowhere. They are so powereful and strong. Mr. Nerhus is recovering and obviously has a long way to go before he is healed. You never want these things to happen but I have nothing but admiration for how people cope so brilliantly under really terrifying conditions. I am sure Mr. Nerhus will have a good tale to tell when he is better.
