While on a Guy Harvey Expedition off Cat Island in the Bahamas, diver and shark expert Jim Abernethy was filming a blue marlin underwater when he got a surprise visit from a 10ft. long, 600 lb. mako.
Out of nowhere, the massive shark shoots past Jim like a missile, passing within feet of the unsuspecting diver and turning a quiet, peaceful dive into an explosion of bubbles and shouts.
Diver Jim Abernethy, an undersea photographer and shark expert, was shooting a blue marlin that had been hooked as part of a Guy Harvey expedition near Cat Island in the Bahamas.
