This is the remarkable moment a diver experiences a close encounter with dozens of sharks off the coast of the Bahamas.

The footage shows the man swimming just a few inches away from a school of sharks.

The filmer writes: ''Here I was free diving with dozens of sharks in shallow water.

''This is actually part of a professional training program where we teach humans how to act correctly in the water in the presence of sharks.

''There is no such thing as dangerous sharks, only dangerous situations that we create or misinterpret.''

The clip was captured on June 17.

I love this part of my job. Here I am free diving with dozens of sharks in shallow water. This is actually part of a professional training program where we teach humans how to act correctly in the water in the presence of sharks. There is no such thing as dangerous sharks, only dangerous situations that we create or misinterpret. Sharks and human can co-exist, we just need to understand what we are saying to each other.
