Paul de Gelder has experienced what most of us would consider a living nightmare. While working as an elite Navy clearance diver, Paul was attacked by a bull shark in Sydney Harbour. Paul lost his hand and leg and almost lost his life in the attack. This is a story of resilience and facing your fears. Paul has gone on to inspiring heights through his motivational speaking, advocacy, international tv career and now as the host of Shark! on Channel 9. He joins Jess to speak about what that day of the attack was like, what his life looks like now, and why he doesn't consider himself 'brave'.
