Most of us have never, and hopefully will never experience a life and death close call, me included. It’s not something that you would want to happen to you. However, they do happen, and those who experience it are always thankful to be still alive to tell the tale. From manatee messing with a girl to a shark attack that was broadcasted on live television, here are the 10 most dangerous close calls at sea. Let’s begin:
Number 10. Girl attacked by Manatee
Manatees are large gentle mammals who spend their time lazily drifting and swimming through slow-moving rivers, bays, estuaries, and coastal waterways. A gentle manatee was doing his thing and floating leisurely through the warm Florida waters when he happened upon the spring breaker. Thinking nothing of her, he floated past and kept on the lookout for any potential plants to munch on. However, the girl became unnecessarily hysterical and frightened by his presence. She flailed around desperately looking for where the sea cow had gone.
A selfie-stick she took along for her swim captured the moment as well as the panicked expression that spread across her face. At one point she shouts “Oh my god, get me out of here” after which nearby friends on a boat tell her “It’s behind you.” The girl continues her desperate escape away from the mammal and looks to be struggling as she swallows water and flails around helplessly. If anything, she posed the greatest threat to herself at the time, not the poor manatee. In her blind fright, it looks like she induced her own panic attack and practically starts to drown. Amazingly, through it all, she managed to hold steadily onto the selfie-stick and keep it focused on herself. Which works out for everyone viewing this short clip and the girl’s entertaining run-in with the gentle sea cow.
Number 9. Shark Surprise
David Woodward, who was surfing alone off the Bluffs Campground in San Clemente, was out on his longboard testing his GoPro for the first time when he captured footage of the great white shark swimming in the wave behind him. In the video, Woodward said a great white shark suddenly appeared in a wave and was swimming about 10 feet away from left to right in front of him. Then we can see Woodward furiously paddling to the safety of the shore. We can see the great white shark in the water directly behind Woodward in the video. BUT he did not realize the shark was still near him until he saw this footage later. It is crazy to think that a great white shark was so close to him in the water. Thankfully, nothing happened. Woodward wrote that he did not believe that the shark had any bad intentions, but the curiosity displayed by this particular shark was disconcerting.
Number 8. Octopus Attack
Octopus rarely attacks humans, and when they do, it’s more comical rather than deadly, like this one octopus who kept squirting water at a marine biologist that he didn’t like, check out our previous video on animals taking revenge on humans for that full story. When they do pose great danger, it’s primarily passive, like in the case of the extremely venomous blue ringed octopus. But, as long as you don’t touch one, you should be fine. However, this one octopus decided to get physical with a diver, and if it weren’t for the diver’s long diving experience, could have turned deadly. The clingy octopus wrapped itself around the diver’s arms and equipment as he attempted to free himself from its grasp, which he eventually does. But, he had to throw away the camera he was holding as the octopus desperately clung to it. The diver’s friends may have found the encounter comical, but this will definitely be a terrifying experience for a novice diver.
Number 7. Great White Jumps on Boat
Fish jump into boats all the time, and it’s often taken as good fortune. However, here’s one dish that you definitely don’t want to be jumping on your boat at any time. Marine researchers in South Africa had a narrow escape after a three-meter-long great white shark breached the surface of the sea and leaped into their boat, becoming trapped on deck for more than an hour. The incident occurred while the research team was conducting a shark population study off Seal Island, near Mossel Bay, on South Africa’s Cape coast. Using sardines as bait to attract the predators, the seven-strong crew was able to observe four great whites. An hour or so in, the crew suddenly heard a mighty splash as one of the great whites breached the water’s surface, and flew directly above the crew member responsible for chumming the water, before slamming onto the deck of the ship.

Her desperate escape away from the peaceful manatee known as the sea cow. Definitely one of the most dangerous close calls I have ever seen. I am more threatened by the fruit fly in my bedroom.
-
Manti's are very gentle, and loving. It was simply vibing, and the girl freaked out, that was her fault not the poor animal.
-
I love visiting Fuji, great place for photos of all kinds, digital, 110, or 35mm. Wonderful cameras, I mean tropical location. Just playing, nice video.

This is the best video ever
-
Cool video..thanks for sharing
-
The "Great White" on the boat is a Mako, not a GW. Still and awesome shark!
-
i love your videos
-
The "Great White shark jumps on boat" part, It's not a great white. It's a Shortfin Mako shark. The fastest shark in the world. It can swim up to 45 mph. I recognize the shark because of its teeth, eyes, body shape, and body color.

Had one loved it's 💜💜💙💙💙💜

4:38, a few, and flew directly above the crew members lmao 🤣
-
The surfer in the last clip was NOT involved in a shark attack. The shark got caught in the line attached to the board and his leg. It was trying to escape. This was informed by himself in an interview afterwards as far as i recall.
-
First girl was next to a basking shark and freaking out 😂😂
-
This man calls box jellyfish potentially dangerous and lionfish certainly deadly.
-
I like It!
-
Wow nice video
-
It was so confusing hearing some of the words just randomly repeated in this video. I thought the audio was maybe skipping, but then he'd say the same thing in two different tones. So that killed that thought. lol.
-
If you’re in open water and chumming the water to attract sharks and then a large Shark comes into the area, why are we acting shocked that someone got bit?!!! They literally got what they asked for 🤷🏻♀️
-
Yikes... the shark that jumped on the boat!
-
this commentary is similar to the girl in the maniti encounter.....he is making this sound way more dangerous than what it is....good job of acting guy...!
