Cries of 'oh my God' as children on rubber ring pulled back on boat as shark spotted

Children on a rubber ring in the sea were pulled back onto their boat after a huge shark was spotted in the water.

Carmel Richardson, from Crosby, was in a friend's speedboat with her family just beyond the safe-swimming zone at Abersoch’s Main Beach on the Llŷn Peninsula when they spotted the huge shark. The retired M&S manager said the shark, most likely a basking shark was almost the size of their vessel, reports North Wales Live.

At first the 57-year-old and her family thought it was a dolphin, but when they moved in for a closer look realised it was something much bigger. Carmel filmed the moment and said she felt honoured to have seen it and it was a "once-in-a-lifetime experience."
