AS surfers scrambled ashore after a shark sighting at a beach where a man lost an arm weeks earlier, there were fears for one man who remained in the water.
Surfers and swimmers were on high alert when the creature was sighted at West Beach in Esperance, about 720km south of Perth.
It was the same beach where WA surfer Sean Pollard was lucky to survive after losing an arm and both hands earlier this month.
Yet Andy Johnson made a conscious decision to stay in water, as he tried 'not to freak out and make a commotion' about the 3m great white.

"I'd rather try to hold my ground against it and not freak out and make a commotion," he told the Esperance Express.
"It seemed just curious and I didn't want to give it a reason to chase me so I tried to behave casually and keep an eye on it.
"But I didn't know it came up quite so close as I was paddling into the wave to come into the beach with the other lads."
These photos, taken by Frits De Bruyn and emailed to PerthNow, showed just how close.
