Yoann Galeran, 29, had swum out to recover a moored dinghy at Nhulunbuy on Sunday nighttime when the 6.5 feet saltwater crocodile struck, snatching him by the head and moving him in the water.
His head honcho, Lisa Heathcote, told the Northern Territory News that Mr Galeran was equipped to battle off the monster before scrambling to security on board the dinghy and making it back to shore.
"He was swimming out and this crocodile has snatched him by the head and done a move," she stated.
"At that point he's simply begun punching into it and it gave him a chance to go. At that point it returned at him again yet he devised a workable plan to get his hands under its front legs and prod it off."
He was raced to an adjacent clinic for medication to chomp stamps to his head, neck and shoulders.
A Northern Territory police representative stated: "So exceptionally lucky that he figured out how to swim away. It could have been a considerable measure more desperate, the result."
Saltwater crocodiles, which can act like an adult to seven metres in length and weigh more than a tonne, are a normal characteristic of Australia's tropical north.
They have been ensured since the 1970s and their numbers have expanded relentlessly subsequent to, as well as the amount of human experiences.
