Sharing on the Courier Mail, Roberts said the large animal easily capsized the boat with great force, causing him to be thrown into the sea. Not stopping there, he continued to bite a few holes, which gradually lowered the boat."I can fit my ear into the holes in the hull due to shark teeth , " Roberts said.

With many years of experience in sailing, Roberts quickly swam towards the boat and used airbags to hold it floating, while sticking to the hull to avoid being attacked by sharks. He uses radio to signal help while the shark is constantly swimming around the boat.

The rescue team from Surf Life Saving in Queensland, after receiving credit, quickly arrived at the scene and promptly rescued the victim."The boat is sinking and there's only one airbag to hold it. The shark still swims around Roberts until we arrive," said Jacob Thomson, a member of the rescue team.

Each year, about 100 attacks of shark sharks are reported worldwide, of which Australia is the country with the highest number of attacks. This has been the seventh attack of sharks recorded in Australia in just two months.
