After tracking the school for a few minutes, all of a sudden out of no where the school parted and a Great White Shark emerged from underneath them. <\/p>\n<p>I could hardly believe what I was seeing. It was a decent sized shark it would have been close to 4m long to the very tip of its tail. Hands shaking with adrenaline I tried to steady myself as best as possible so I could capture some smooth footage of the shark swimming amongst the salmon. <\/p>\n<p>This was a very brief moment, it swam amongst the salmon for only about 1 minute before it left them and headed out into deeper water in the bay. This was one of those fleeting moments in nature where I happened to be in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n<p> It would have to be up there with one of the most incredible wildlife encounters I have experienced.<\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jordanrobins.com.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jordan Robins<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jordan_robins\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram <\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JordanRobinsPhoto\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Video and image \u00a9 Jordan Robins Photography<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Awaking early one morning in late June this year I headed down to one of the local beaches&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":707544,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[59,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-707543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-gb","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
