41-year-old Eric Nerhus may just have the most incredible fish story ever. The Australian diver made an incredible escape after being partially swallowed -- headfirst-- by a great white shark! He suffered only a broken nose, cuts and bruising after fighting his way out of the man-eater's jaws. A spokeswoman for Snowy Hydro SouthCare rescue service said, "When he came to us he was conscious and alert but had a broken nose and bite marks all the way around." This all went down off Cape Howe, on Australia's southeast coast. Fellow diver Michael Mashado said, "It was black. He didn't see it coming, but he felt the bite and then started getting shaken, and that's when he knew he was in the mouth of the shark." Eric fought frantically to free himself from the shark's jaws and was eventually pulled back aboard his boat by his 25-year-old son. Fortunately the brunt of the bite was taken by his lead-weight vest. (Sky News)
