Henri Bource (25 March 1934 – 4 September 1998) was an Australian scuba diver, underwater filmmaker, musician and shark attack survivor.[1][2][3][4] In 1964, he was attacked by a great white shark, losing his left leg. In his 1969 documentary film Savage Shadows, he recreated the scene of the attack.[5]

Early life

[edit]

Bource was born in the Netherlands and emigrated to Australia as a teenager in 1954.[6] He learned to use an aqualung with his father[7] and trained as a graphic artist.[6]

Shark attack

[edit]

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 was 30 years old at the time,[8] and was living in Hawthorn East. He lost his left leg but survived the attack and went on to retell the story in his 1969 documentary film, Savage Shadows.[5][9][10][11] He continued to dive, wearing a modified diving fin on the stump of his left leg.[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.[14] He was interviewed at various times about his shark attack, including by Peter Luck in 1979.[15]

Music career

[edit]

Bource was a saxophonist and band leader of the Henri Bource Allstars who recorded for the Australian Planet record label.[16][17] He also played with the Thunderbirds (1960–62), The Planets and The Johnny Donohue Quartet.[18]
