Great White Shark Encounter | Fort Pierce, Florida

This past Saturday four spear fishermen got a surprise visit from a great white shark 15 miles northeast of Fort Pierce, Florida. According to TCPalm, Eros Morales entered the water around 6:30 AM and quickly noticed the 12 to 14 foot shark swimming towards him. After exiting the water, one of his diving partners, Steve Maldonado, secured his GoPro camera onto a pole and was able to capture some good clear shots of the shark(see video below). Definitely a great white. Last year a spear fisherman encountered a white shark while diving in 170 feet of water off Sebastian Inlet Florida.
