Fastest shark in world mauls screaming diver in disturbing Facebook video footage

A disturbing clip has surfaced of a diver being mauled by the world's fastest shark which can swim up to 45mph in a savage attack. Chad Patti and his friend Josh Loucks were spearfishing on New Year's Day when he was attacked by a 10ft shortfin mako shark which was swimming around 70 miles off of Florida's coast in the US.

Mr Patti, 30 managed to catch the horrifying encounter on film with the GoPro camera he had strapped to his head at the time of the attack, the Mirror reports. The diver had just come back up to the surface of the water when the huge mako shark suddenly came flying towards him from below.

In the chilling clip, the terrified fisherman can be heard screaming as his friend dives into the water in an attempt to rescue him. Mr Patti said he was convinced that the monstrous shark had devoured his scuba-diving fin as it had chomped down on it before vanishing.
