At the shocking moment that came within walking distance of a giant white shark while diving off the coast of Bali, Diver Fabian Clifton recorded.

The frightening… meeting took place on March 12, 2025 but the video now saw the light of day.

The footage shows the shark turning slowly towards the camera, “looking” at the diver for a few seconds and finally decides not to attack him, turning and swimming again and away.

“Meetings” with white sharks are extremely rare in Bali. The last observation was made in 2019 at the Crystal Bay, on the other side of Nusa Penida.

Clinton, a scuba diving trainer at Scuba Junkie in Nusa Penida, said the meeting was “one in a million … approaching the biggest!”

White sharks and in the Greek seas

The large white shark is the largest known predatory fish and the species responsible for most recorded attacks on humans.

White sharks live in coastal waters near the surface in all important oceans, with higher concentrations in the United States (in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and California), South Africa, Japan, Oceania, Chile, and the Mediterranean[4].

In Greece, the largest population concentration is observed in the areas: Corfu, Corinth, Ionian Sea, Aegean Sea (Thermaikos Gulf, Thassos, Kavala, Samothraki Alexandroupolis), up to the Turkish coasts in the Bosphorus.

Large white sharks usually appear at depths of at least 500 meters.

They reach more than 6 meters in length and usually weigh up to 2,240 kg.
