Rare footage captured of Great White shark in Mediterranean Sea

Article excerpt

A volunteer diver off the coast between Tunisia and Sicily captured rare footage of an endangered Great White shark in the Mediterranean Sea, describing himself as visibly shaken during the encounter. The video represents an unusual sighting in waters where the species has become increasingly scarce. Great Whites have historically roamed the Mediterranean but are now considered critically endangered in the region due to overfishing and habitat loss. The diver's documentation adds to the limited visual record of the species in these waters and provides researchers with additional data about their presence and behavior.
