Abalone Divers Face Great White Sharks Daily

Abalone divers in West Australia, like Mark Payne, face daily risks from great white sharks while they collect abalone, a type of mollusk. These divers work in dangerous conditions but find the underwater landscape beautiful. They use special equipment for protection, including a cage to defend against shark attacks. While abalone are easy to gather from the sea floor, the presence of sharks makes the job quite challenging.
