A brave filmer submerged his hand in the water just metres away from one of the rarest and fastest sharks in the world.<br /><br />Dave Krug captured the moment a Mako shark started biting the propellors on his boat off the Eastern Cape in South Africa. <br /><br />But he does so by carelessly thrusting his hand into the water just metres away from the shark – one of the fastest in the animal kingdom. <br /><br />Mako sharks are capable of travelling in bursts of 18 metres a second and are a vulnerable species. <br /><br />Krug writes: "When I held my GoPro in my hand right in front of its mouth, teasing it to come closer and closer, I did not know that they are among the fastest sharks. <br /><br />"One quick move with the tail and it would have my whole arm in its mouth. <br /><br />"The skipper did tell me that I didn't seem to care much about my arm, but I was just not so well read on Makos."<br /><br />The footage was filmed in July 2014.
