A Wairarapa fishing club says a diver had a lucky escape from an attack by what he believes was a great white shark.

The diver was part of a commercial diving crew who were collecting pāua east of the small fishing settlement of Ngawi, near Cape Palliser on the southern-most point of the North Island.

Rachel Helyer Donaldson has been following the story and spoke to Charlotte Cook.
