About

My name is Caleb. I’m a shark attack survivor, storyteller, actor and athlete with a deep love for the outdoors and human connection.

In 2015, my life changed forever when I was attacked by a Great White shark in Buffalo Bay, Knysna, South Africa. I lost my right leg above the knee and came close to losing my life. To be precise, the odds were 1 in 5 million for surviving. This experience reshaped my entire life, physically and mentally. A rebirth at 20 years old.

Fast forward to 2025 and 10 years later I am still standing, walking with a swagger…replacing flesh and bone with cyborg.

Today my xp spans across professional theatre, film & television, brand building, as well as over a decade of keynote speaking

My evolving relationship with sharks and the ocean continues to unfold as an exciting adventure — with the key focus on using my story to protect sharks as well as encourage and show others that healing is possible
