Divers removing abandoned fishing nets from the central Mediterranean have captured what they believe is the first-ever underwater footage of an adult great white shark in the region.

The sighting occurred as a team led by the Healthy Seas Foundation recovered so-called ghost nets from a shipwreck in the Strait of Sicily.
這次目擊發生在「健康海洋基金會」率團,於西西里海峽1艘沉船處回收這些所謂「幽靈漁網」時。
The video shows the shark accompanied by a dozen striped pilot fish.
影片顯示,這隻鯊魚身旁伴隨著十幾條身上有條紋的黑帶鰺。
Volunteer diver Derk Remmers filmed the shark. "An offshore underwater shark encounter in the Mediterranean is insane," he said.
志工潛水員德克‧雷默斯拍下這隻鯊魚。「在地中海離岸水下遇見鯊魚太不可思議了」,他說。
Another member of the diving team, Pascal van Erp, said the shark had likely been drawn to dead marine life entangled in the abandoned fishing net.
潛水團另一名成員巴斯卡・范艾普說,這隻鯊魚很可能是被纏在廢棄漁網中的死亡海洋生物所吸引。
While there have been occasional sightings of great whites in the Mediterranean, the size of the population is unknown.
雖然地中海偶有目擊大白鯊,但其族群規模仍不明。
