While you’re splashing about in the frosty waters of the British seaside, it’s highly unlikely you’ll fall victim to a deadly shark attack.

And hopefully, experiencing the huge fish having a bite is something we’ll never have to go through. But unfortunately, for those who do, it’s something that’s probably going to stay with them until the day they die.

Like this Brit, who is still haunted by the shark attack he filmed a vicious YouTube video of where you can hear the scream.

Back in 2018, Dan White was completing his deep diver certification when he came across a whitetip shark.

He thought it was a ‘cool encounter’ and decided to start filming while it swam its way over to his diving group. The man had come across three sharks very recently ‘with no trouble at all’, hence the confidence in whipping out his camera.

However, as the horrifying YouTube clip shows, things took a terrible turn.

Several German drivers who were swimming in the same area joined with White’s group, with the shark’s behaviour began to change.

He told Tracking Sharks in 2018: "As I was filming, I noticed that one of the outlet diver’s bubbles spooked the shark and it turned to investigate."

In the video, you can see the shark making its way to the diver’s level and swimming towards them.

The animal then begins to attack a diver, with the clip showing it biting into its victim’s leg.

Dan retold this scary encounter to the BBC’s Why Sharks Attack: "It bit into the diver's leg, latched on, thrashed around and ended up going over almost like a cartwheel.

"It was crazy, it wouldn't let go for what felt like forever. It ended up tearing his calf muscle completely off his leg."

The man’s calf was ripped to shreds and the shark had not only completely destroyed his calf muscle but also bitten down to the bone.

"There was a big plume of blood in the water. Another diver started screaming you could hear her scream - a shriek noise in your ear," Dan said.

"It's horrifying to listen to."

Despite the group being 10 metres below the water’s surface, you can hear the scream in the video. After the shark attack, the man was helped up to the surface where he was heaved out from the water.

Before being rushed to shore, first responders administered pain medication and applied a tourniquet to the man’s leg, which miraculously didn’t need to be amputated. He was then taken to hospital.

Unsurprisingly, YouTube users were quick to express their shock beneath the video, with one person writing in the comments: "Very scary footage."

Another added: "Wow, absolutely terrifying."

While a third penned: "The most chilling part of this is still being able to hear the screaming under water."
