Angry diving guide repeatedly PUNCHES shark and drags another by its tail in front of horrified tourists in Bahamas

A distressing video shows a diving guide repeatedly punching a shark before dragging another with its tail in front of horrified tourists in the Bahamas.

The vicious worker is seen lashing out at the nurse shark while trying to disperse a group of large fish, who were trying to get food.

The shocking clip also shows him throw the shark out of the way, before dragging another by its tail.

Afterwards, a witness said, the guide told onlookers he was demanding 'f****** respect' from the gentle sharks.

Stunned accountant Nicholas Jones, who filmed the underwater violence, said the sharks were trying to get food because the instructor hadn't locked a bait box properly
