A pair of fishermen spent the night clinging to debris after their boat sank off Australia’s north coast.

The two cousins were rescued by the crew of the Oiltanker MT Godam on Thursday after the captain spotted them treading water off the Torres Strait.

Great White sharks circled the men as they clung to life for about 15 hours before being winched to safety.

Both men were safely pulled on board for a health check before being transported to Thursday Island Hospital

But before they made it to the boat a large shark approached one of the men as the other was being winched ashore.

Footage from the rescue shows the crew aboard shouting frantically as they throw down a lifeboat to the remaining man.

Both were safely pulled on board for a health check before being transported to Thursday Island Hospital. 

‘Initially, they were a bit tired because they’d been in the water for long as ten hours they were a bit, they were feeling cold,’ Captain Ritesh Bhamaria told 7 News.  

The 37-year-old man and 47-year-old man drifted ten kilometres over the course of the night.

They managed to stay alive by clinging to a piece of wood and an oil drum.
