Maldives: Shark Swallows Diver’s Camera and Spits It Back Out

On October 21, 2025, in the Maldives, a video captured an astonishing moment during a recreational diving session when a curious shark swallowed and then spat out a Chinese diver’s underwater camera. The shark suddenly appeared and bit into the device, swallowing it completely. For several seconds, the camera continued recording from inside the shark’s mouth, capturing flashes of sharp teeth and swirling water. The diver later told reporters that he felt terrified when the shark approached and immediately swam back to the boat after retrieving the camera.
