Fishing content creator who filmed himself being bitten by a shark while spearfishing lucky he still has leg
A fishing content creator from New Zealand narrowly avoided amputation following a shark attack during a spearfishing expedition near Fiji. Henry Gibbs encountered a grey reef shark whilst diving in the South Pacific waters, sustaining significant trauma to his right leg from the bite.
The injury proved severe enough to require four separate surgical interventions and a skin graft to repair the damage, yet medical intervention successfully preserved his limb. The incident underscores the risks faced by those who regularly engage in marine activities in shark-inhabited waters.
