Marcus McGowan, 51, of Queensland, was snorkeling off the Charles Hardy Islands with his wife and friends on Saturday when he felt what he initially thought was a shark, The Guardian reported.
“I realized it was a crocodile. I was able to lever its jaws open just far enough to get my head out,” he said in a statement.
“The crocodile then attempted to attack me a second time, but I managed to push it away with my right hand, which was then bitten.
