While the turquoise waters look inviting, they are actually known for being home to the shark capital of the world.
Taking on the challenge is Sir Lenny Henry, Call the Midwife 's Helen George, McFly 's Dougie Poynter, comedian Ross Noble, Countdown 's Rachel Riley, presenter Ade Adepitan and Motherhood star Lucy Punch.
They are lead on their expedition by shark experts including Dr. Tristan Guttridge, and at one point, he takes the celebrities to an area in the Bahamas known for its Lemon Sharks.
Dr. Tristan tells the celebrities that as they stand in the waist height water, they need to remain still, and even if the sharks nudge into them, the key is not to panic.
The stars enter the water in small groups so as not to cause too much alarm to the sharks.
Comedian Ross, 49, describes the creatures as "peaceful" and while he agrees, Dr. Tristan then adds: "Of all the sharks I've ever worked with, it's the only one I've ever been bitten by."
Moments later, a larger shark picks up the scent of the bait box in the bait box near the celebrities, and breaches the water with a fish in its mouth, causing them to be on high alert.
Indeed, the Lemon sharks then start to get a bit more "excited" and with the sea bed being churned up by their faster movements, a shark suddenly butts into Ross's ankle and bites him.
The funnyman staggers a bit in the water prompting the others to ask: "What happened?"
In a very calm voice, Ross replies: "A shark just bit me."
Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters
In a voiceover, it's explained that the shark had "an exploratory bite" after Ross didn't move when it bumped into his leg.
Dr. Tristan then decides that because the sharks are getting "a bit jumpy" they should slowly move back to the boat.
Thankfully, the bite is more of a nibble and Ross jokes that he is "lucky to be alive".
But with high drama already in the first episode, what else will the celebrities face when they head below the waves later in the series?
Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters starts tonight, Monday July 14 at 9pm on ITV1.

Infested waters is only kept afloat by Helen George – erotic brush with stingray could help get her land huge TV deal
AT the risk of raining on ITV's latest celebrity parade, do you think this newspaper would've mentioned his death if Sir Lenny Henry had been eaten by a shark? I do. 9 Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters has become The Helen George Show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 The Call The Midwife actress is so traumatised by a childhood swimming pool incident, involving rubber floats, that she cannot put her head under water Credit: ITV 9 Helen had a brush with a stingray on the series Credit: Getty It would've taken a heroic level of restraint not to do it under the headline 'Lenny Henry in pieces' as well. My point being, expectations should be well and truly managed before clicking on Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters where, in honour of Jaws' 50th anniversary, some reasonably famous people are forced to 'confront their fears' and 'step out of their comfort zones' while having to cope with the very real trauma of coming face-to-face with scuba diving instructors in the Bahamas. It's a hell of an ordeal for Lenny and the gang, as you can imagine. All but sunk Just in case the seven ever forget the point, though, they're joined by a trio of marine experts to ram home the environmental message and explain the celebs have 'nothing to fear from one of the most persecuted animals on the planet'. A fine sentiment that's only slightly undermined by the fact one of the team, Australian Navy para Paul de Gelder, has a prosthetic arm and leg, on account of the real ones being eaten by a bull shark in Sydney Harbour. As remote as the chances of this dismembering ever being repeated on Celebrity Infested Waters were, any possibility of it being a spectacle vanished with the line-up, which really should've been headed by an apex political predator like Boris or Alastair Campbell. Aside from getting the health and safety team drunk while you tampered with the shark cage, all you would then have needed to do was sign up some professional irritants, like Nish Kumar, Gemma Collins and the drumming Welsh weatherman, before filling the final crucial spot — for teeth-related reasons — with Rob Beckett. One of the sharks attempts to attack Rob Beckett? It's funny. One of the sharks attempts to mate with Rob Beckett? It's even funnier. Instead, the show was all but sunk when ITV went for worthy and likeable characters who include: Dougie Poynter, from McFly, Ross Noble, Ade Adepitan, actress Lucy Punch and Countdown's Rachel Riley. Lenny's there as well, obviously, still trying his best, bless him. Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters All hopes the other six ever had about hogging the camera, though, were dashed with the booking of Call The Midwife's Helen George, who announced her arrival right at the start of episode one when team leader Dr Tristan Guttridge told them: 'You're meeting bull sharks today.' 'Sharks? Today? In the water?' No, back in the Coconut Lounge at the hotel. Where the hell do you think you're going to meet them? From that moment onwards, it effectively became The Helen George Show. An actress so traumatised by a childhood swimming pool incident, involving rubber floats, that she cannot put her head under water or even look at it without giving us her full Meryl Streep routine from Sophie's Choice. Mind you, it was a slightly different performance we got when a stingray nuzzled her crotch in the shallows off Bimini island.

Sucky sucky,' she groaned, before admitting afterwards: 'I've never been tickled by a stingray before. It was quite pleasant.' If I had to guess, of course, I'd say what's really going on here is that Helen's using her rather lovely Bahaman holiday as an audition for ITV's jungle, as she keeps shouting 'Get me out!' every time she's in the water. I'm vaguely glad she's there as well, because Celebrity Infested Waters would be an even flatter experience without her histrionics. What all the screaming in the world cannot do, though, is add any sort of point to Celebrity Infested Waters or take away from the stupidity of the exercise. Cupping goolies Because the really mind-blowing thing about this format is that ITV tried exactly the same thing in 2005, to mark the 30th anniversary of Jaws, with a one-off show called Celebrity Shark Bait, featuring Ruby Wax, Richard E Grant and Colin Jackson. And none of them had the decency to get eaten either. Now here we are, 20 years later, with a five-part series and Dougie Poynter from McFly cupping his goolies as he waded cautiously into the ocean asking: 'Are my testicles safe?' From the sharks? 100 per cent. From Helen? 50/50. UNEXPECTED MORONS IN THE BAGGING AREA LIGHTNING, Zoe Lyons: 'In which classic board game are the Hippopotamus Defence and Queen's Gambit opening moves?' Shui: 'Cluedo.'

RE: ITV's women's Euros 2025 pundit Eni Aluko: 'I struggle with questioning goalkeepers.' Then kindly p*** off. It's your job. GREAT SPORTING INSIGHTS Andrew Castle: 'The final result was three sets to one but it could have been four sets to love.' Clare Balding: 'Anything could happen. And it did.' And Pat Cash: 'There are four players who can hit with a straight arm – Federer, Nadal, Del Potro, Alcarez and Fernandez.'

Because the first concert, in 1985, was a beautiful, spontaneous union between the British people and their favourite rock stars, driven by two men, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, who were just trying to make a difference while having some fun. The terminally pompous Live 8 event, on the other hand, was clearly driven by a politician who longed to be a rock star, Tony Blair, and a rock star who longed to be a politician, Bono, who shared a messiah complex that overwhelmed everyone and everything else. It missed someone capable of filling the impossible void left by Freddie Mercury as well, obviously. But the most notable absence, in part three, was the public, who just had to sit tight while Blair, Putin, George W Bush and Bono did some sort of behind-closed-doors deal about Third World debt, and remain polite while Live 8 cretins like Miss Dynamite told them: 'As a nation we've robbed, killed, stolen and violated the Third World for centuries. If there's a debt to be paid, we're the ones that owe.' A version of events which is a bit hard to stomach when Britain was the first country in the whole history of humanity not just to ban the international slave trade but police it as well. She certainly set the self-loathing tone for a lot of large concerts that followed, though, and probably helped ensure one of Live Aid's main legacies is the constant background drone of celebrity sermonizing we must all now endure.

Bad Bunny and LeBron James spark bromance as pair party hard with lots of women at swanky Puerto Rico hotel
BAD Bunny and LeBron James have sparked a bromance after the friends partied hard with women at a swanky Puerto Rican hotel. An insider close to the festivities exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the unlikely pair enjoyed each other's company during the opening weekend for Bad Bunny's residency in his native island. 5 5 The performer is at the start of a once-in-a-lifetime run of 30 sold-out shows in his hometown at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The source, who was an eyewitness to much of the revelry, revealed just how invested Bad Bunny, 31, has been in ensuring these concerts benefit the island and serve its people. "It's an elaborate thing where he is making the tickets available at a low price, you have to prove you're a fan and a Puerto Rican resident, like people have to get the tickets at the supermarket he worked at when he was a kid." The insider said LeBron, 40, was not only at the concert and vibing to the music, but he also hung out with the singer for much of the lead-up to the first show. "LeBron was at the concert, there were a bunch of videos of them together, but before that, they had hung out and played golf together all day," the insider said of the performer and the Los Angeles Lakers player. The insider added that the NBA star is still a newbie at golfing and has been enjoying the sport lately. "After all that they partied their a**es off at the St Regis property nearby with a lot of beautiful women." "They have this fun new bromance energy going on," the source added. Bad Bunny started his residency on July 12, and has a whirlwind of 30 dates over the next month, before he kicks off his world tour, which notably does not include any shows in the 50 states. The Puerto Rican icon is very single, and clearly ready to mingle, as he has not had any serious public relationship since his split from Kendall Jenner last year. LeBron is married to his wife of 12 years, Savannah James. BAD SPLIT Fans noticed the couple had split when they both appeared at the US Open, separately, in September. Fans noticed the duo sitting apart during the match, leading many to speculate that it was a sign their relationship had come to an end. "Bad Bunny and Kendall definitely broke up - they are sitting separately," one person wrote in a popular online thread, starting the discussion. "To be honest they always seemed like a hot fling kind of thing. I can see them going back and forth for fun but unsure if anything serious will come out of it," someone else said, after having brought up that the pair dated previously and had split in December of 2023. Before the U.S. Open sighting, the pair hadn't been seen together since June at Paris Fashion Week, which had further fueled the rumor at the time. 5 5 5
