Great white shark attacks camera, drags boat in Auckland

A cameraman has captured the terrifying moment a great white shark attacked his camera gear and used it to drag his boat.

Scott Tindale and wife Sue, from Auckland's Dairy Flat, were out on the Kaipara Harbour in Auckland last month to tag and release some fish, when they put down an underwater camera to film the marine life.

The camera got some action after just a few minutes, Mr Tindale told Stuff.

"A shark turned up and decided to eat my camera," he said, with a laugh.

The shark — which he estimated was four to five years old and 2.5m long — then used the camera gear to pull the boat, with the two of them on board.

"There was a bit of a current, and we were on anchor, but it pulled us up-current because it wasn't going to let go of my camera," Mr Tindale said.

"All of a sudden, we were going the wrong way."

After the boat was pulled for about 15 metres, the shark let go, and Mr Tindale was able to get both the camera and the heavily damaged mounting back.
