Henri Bource (25 March 1934 – 4 September 1998) was a Dutch-Australian scuba diver, underwater filmmaker, musician and shark attack survivor who lived and worked in Australia.
[1][2][3][4] In his film Savage Shadows, he recreated the scene of a great white shark removing his left leg.
[6] Bource was attacked by what is believed to have been a 2.4 metre long great white shark off Lady Julia Percy Island in Australia in November 1964.
He lost his left leg but survived the attack and went on to retell the story in his 1969 documentary film, Savage Shadows.
[12] During the 1970s he made a short film for BHP and Esso called Reef of Steel[13] and appeared in Island Treasure in 1981.
