The story of Eric's amazing survival of a shark attack made headline news around the world. Half of his body was swallowed by a Great White shark, which attacked without warning while Eric was diving for abalone near Eden on the south coast of NSW.
His determination to survive and his calm approach to the situation undoubtedly saved his life. Eric's family contacted the Harry M Miller Group for assistance to deal with the hundreds of media requests following his remarkable survival.
Eric has since appeared as a guest on The Late Show with David Letterman in the United States, CBS's Early Morning Show and the programme Top 5 which presented the most incredible survival stories of 5 individuals relating to global shark attacks. Coverage of the ordeal in Australia appeared on A Current Affair and an article featured in Woman's Day sharing his experience.
