THE Perth man who risked his life diving into shark-infested waters to climb on to a rotting whale carcass says he won’t do anything like it again and even his parents think he’s an idiot.
Harrison Williams, of Quinns Rock, north of Perth, said: “I was out on the boat with the boys and one of my mates said it would be pretty funny to surf the whale so I did it.”
The 26-year-old said he saw the sharks, including a massive great white, but they did not deter him from getting into the water.
“They were too busy chomping on the whale so it wasn’t too bad,” he said.

He doesn't actually qualify as he's still alive; but for him, I'd say just give it time.
