Divers Film Great White Shark
Divers filmed a big white shark under the sea. It was near Sicily, in the Mediterranean Sea. People think this is the first video like this. The divers saw the shark in May.
Great white sharks are now very rare here. Too much fishing is the reason. One diver said he was very lucky. It is harder than winning money.
The divers want people to protect the sea. They were cleaning old fishing nets from the water. These nets trap and kill sea animals. The shark did not hurt the divers.
