The short clip begins to show a diver in the middle of an ocean. As the diver is swimming, a shark approaches the person and collides with their head.

"You're right, if a great white shark spawned 3 ft in front of me and head-butted me, I would definitely find it oddly terrifying," said a third. "That is literally my absolute worst nightmare when scuba diving or just being in the sea in general!" said a fourth.
