Footage of a great hammerhead shark attempting to attack and eat a diver's GoPro.
The video, filmed off the coast of the Bahamas late last year, shows the large shark swimming around amid other fish and a number of nurse sharks on the sea bed.
Then, all of a sudden, the hammerhead lunges at the filmer's GoPro camera before retreating.
"The shark feeder managed to feed the first and second sharks, [but] he was too slow in taking out the food for the third one, so the hammerhead bolted straight for my camera, thinking it was also food," the filmer wrote online.
"Luckily, my GoPro was fitted inside a wide-angle lens dome which made it harder for the shark to snatch away."
