Balls... or brains?

They say courage is simply "grace under pressure."
The 41-year-old professional diver from Eden, on the NSW far south coast, had gone head-first into the mouth of a 3m great white shark.

As his head, left arm and torso were inside the fish, he used his free right arm to punch the shark in the eye. His thrashing caused the shark to spit him out and gave him entry to an exclusive club: those who have been inside a great white and lived to talk about it.
This prescence of mind is not only what separates "the men from the boys"... more importantly, it separates "the men from the snacks."
