This is the terrifying moment a man found himself surrounded by 50 sharks in British waters while training to swim around the Isle of Wight. <br />
<br />
Oly Rush set off from the exclusive Sandbanks resort, Dorset, for his first night time swim in preparation for the charity challenge. <br />
<br />
He cut through the pitch black waters, unable to see more than a few metres ahead of him, until something knocked him about 240ft from shore. <br />
<br />
Stopping alongside Ashley McPherson, who accompanied him in a kayak, unknown creatures continued to buffer at his legs near Branksome Beach, Poole. <br />
<br />
Unnerved, Oly, 36, dived beneath the surface with his phone in a waterproof case while Ashley pointed his torch.
