Derek Boe was spearfishing off the Oregon coast last weekend when he had an unexpected and frightening encounter.

Diving at a depth of about 30 feet, Boe came face to face with a great white shark that he estimated to be 12 to 14 feet long. Boe, who lives in Vancouver, quickly realized he was in danger, so he shoved off from the bottom and rose to the surface. He was careful not to make any sudden movements during the 30-second ascent and escaped unscathed.

Boe told his fellow fishermen that the shark circled him four times.

He has drawn 3 already, these are great.

Warmer ocean temperatures, an ongoing marine heat wave and changing nursery habitat are creating conditions similar to 2015, when juvenile great white shark activity surged along the California coast, Chris Lowe, director of Cal State Long Beach’s Shark Lab, told Patch.

"It almost looked like the white shark population exploded overnight," Lowe recalled.
