"I didn't even see him approach me. He came from below. It was just like a truck hit me," Heidi Ernst recalled in an interview with ABC News. "I have been diving for 11 years," she said."I never had a shark even threaten me in any form or shape. I saw that he -- or she probably -- had my leg in its mouth starting to shake its head side to side."

Ernst remembered hearing one of the crew members yell to"get in the boat" repeatedly, so she"got up the ladder and jumped into the back of the boat" once free from the shark's grasp, she said.An experienced diver from Iowa, Heidi Ernst is recovering in the hospital after a shark attack that occurred June 7, 2023, in Grand Bahama.
