Deep Spearfishing - Bronze whaler shark bites bank steenbras - the full clip

Its a long swim down to the bottom 34 m - I dawdled making it a slow descent - 1.7 seconds per meter - the idea was to billboard on my way down in the 15 m viz. The strategy worked with more than one bank steenbras meeting me soon after reaching the bottom. As I was about to shoot I saw the bronze whaler 2.5 - 3 m approaching but decided to take the shot with my 1100 Freedivers reelgun. I swam toward the shark filming it on the beginning of my ascent - it shied away and i turned vertical towards the surface - reaching it 40 seconds later. Then the big pull-up began. I felt some tugs and pulls guessing the shark was doing its bit then the fish was free again and coming up - the shark returned and the fish was scarred quite heavily - it swam around me a few times before returning to the depths.
