A shark attack survivor who had an arm and leg ripped off by one of the predators now says he is 'in love' with the animals and wants to protect them. The former Navy clearance diver was carrying out a routine military exercise when his right lower arm and leg were ripped off by the apex predator. 'The bull shark came from beneath me and grabbed me by the right leg and hand in the same bite whilst dragging me underwater. He adds: 'I became somewhat of a shark expert out of necessity, because the interest from that shark attack was so huge. De Gelder wrote a book called No Time for Fear: How a Shark Attack Survivor Beat the Odds in 2011, chronicling his recovery and battling back to dive again.
