Stay out of the water ... Great White shark attacked circling boat
THIS is the terrifying moment a Great White shark attacked a small fishing boat.
The deadly predator was caught on film by a group of friends who had been fishing off the Australian coast as it went straight for the boat's motor.
The pals had just clambered back on to the boat after going for a SWIM in the sea.
The incident happened near the town of Busselton, off the west coast, yesterday.
The five-metre long shark only shunted the boat gently before disappearing at first.
But moments later it was back — ignoring the fish the pals had thrown overboard and instead attempting to batter the side of the small vessel. Paul Sweeney was nearly thrown overboard as he bravely filmed the encounter.

The camera can be seen shaking violently in his hands as the shark strikes the hull.
One of the men said of the beast: "He almost took the motor off."
The friends decided to make a quick exit and powered off in the boat before finding bite marks and part of a tooth stuck in its propeller.
Another pal added: "I was pretty quick to jump on the throttle and get right out of there."
