Haunting footage of sharks lurking in shallow waters at a remote beach was shared just days before a swimmer was mauled by a predator. 

The video, shared on TikTok, showed a shiver of sharks along the beach off Agnes Waters, north of Bundaberg in central Queensland, in early December.

Days later a swimmer was attacked by a shark at Seventeen Seventy – just 15 minutes away – on Friday afternoon.

‘Water so blue usually but now the water full of fish and sharks,’ the caption on the video read.

Uually crystal clear, Agnes waters has become infested with sharks 

‘And if thats not bad enough, someone pulled out a drone to show that there are 20 more than the 5 you see from the shore.’

The video goes on to show aerial drone footage on even more sharks lurking below the waters surface.

Paramedics were called to a beach off Sir Raphael Cilento Drive following reports of the shark attack on Friday.

The man in the his 20s is believed to have suffered severe bites to his leg in the attack.

He was transported to Bundaberg Hospital where he remains following surgery to save his foot.

Queensland Ambulance Service senior operations supervisor Martin Kelly described it as a ‘dangerous’ time to be swimming.

‘At that time of the day, it’s a time when sharks tend to be in the water close to shore to feed,’ he told the Courier Mail.

‘One of the things that occurs, of course is with recent rains that does increase the flushing out of waterways and looks at around those areas. 

‘So that tends to attracts sharks.’ 

The shark attack marks the second one in just eight days with no shark safety measures currently in place at the beach.

A 21-year-old man was recently bitten by a 1.8m shark while swimming near Clack Island on The Cape York Peninsula on November 30.

He was taken to the Cairns Hospital in a stable condition before he was discharged.
