Attack: Diver Russell Easton has a lucky escape as his camera saves him from attack by a tiger shark
The professional underwater photographer and diver says: 'I was looking through the view finder of the camera when I suddenly saw this huge mouth and teeth.
The 42-year-old professional underwater photographer and diver says: 'I was looking through the view finder of the camera when I suddenly saw this huge mouth and teeth.
'It is only because of the camera I was not bitten. Sharks bite because that is how they find out what something is - they use their mouth as we use our hands -  and it had its mouth wide open, about to bite me.
“In that moment I managed to get one shot of the inside of its mouth. Thankfully sharks are attracted to cameras and bit that instead, giving me vital seconds to swim away.'

Snappy: Russell Easton is saved by his camera equipment as the tiger shark goes in for the kill
It was only afterwards I realised the camera had probably saved my life and how fortunate I was.'
Despite his lucky escape, Mr Easton, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne maintains the shark was not trying to hurt him.


He says: 'I don't think he was attacking me. He was just curious and wanted to know what I was so was going to take a nibble to find out.
The problem is a tiger shark's mouth is so large and it's teeth so sharp that if a shark takes a nibble out of you, the bite is so huge it is often fatal.'

DEADLY OCEAN PREDATOR: HOW THE SHARK MEASURES UP
Tiger sharks are capable of growing to 25 feet in length and weighing up to 1,900 pounds
They are considered to be one of the most dangerous sharks to humans, coming second to the Great White shark on the list of number of recorded attacks
Due to finning, where the fins are cut off sharks sometimes when they are still alive, tiger sharks are believed to be a near threatened species.
.Despite the close call the seasoned diver is due return to Cat Island, Bahamas to photograph sharks and is looking for a sponsor.
In August last year shark experts in the Seychelles claimed a tiger shark may have been responsible for the death of British newlywed Ian Redmond, who was killed in front of his wife on their honeymoon.
The couple, from Lancashire, were enjoying a dream honeymoon when 30-year-old IT consultant Mr Redmond went snorkelling and was killed
He and his wife Gemma had been married for just 10 days when the attack took place.
It was the second shark attack in the area in a matter of weeks following the death of French holidaymaker Nicolas Virolle.
