Diver in cage attacked by Great White

Just heard on radio 5 about a diver in a cage being attacked by a 18 foot Great White. Apparently it severed the cage from the boat, and the cage sank to the bottom, the diver managed to get out and back up to, and in the boat. just as the GW "took a huge chunk out of the back of the boat"!!

It was all caught on video apparently, should be on Sky News soon then!!
