It was business as usual on the set of Aquaman on Friday despite an almost fatal incident.
Jason Momoa and Amber Heard were snapped filming for the new Hollywood blockbuster at the Gold Coast’s Currumbin Beach.
The pair were filmed venturing into the ocean, both dressed in their associated character’s get-up.

Jason wore the full Aquaman outfit.
But on Friday, a female animal handler was injured after being trampled by the very animal she was taking care of on the set of Aquaman.
The woman suffered facial and foot injuries when she was stood on by a camel while filming was taking place for the highly anticipated film at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast.
Queensland Ambulance Service supervisor Paul Young claimed that the camel was startled from an incoming wave while walking along the beach.
The woman stumbled as the camel began to thrash, who was then struck in the head by it’s hoof.
Fortunately, the woman was not severely injured, and taken to Pindara Private Hospital in a stable condition.
It’s the second incident involving an animal to occur in four months for the film, after a woman was severely injured in July attempting to save a donkey from a runaway golf cart.
Animal handler Katie Brock endured multiple fractures after being hit by the buggy, as she pushed the donkey out of harm’s way.
Suffering broken ribs and a cracked vertebrae, the 54-year-old was rushed to hospital and is still recovering.
The $160 million production has suffered setbacks since it began filming in May earlier this year.
Tweed Shire Council’s Greens Mayor Katie Milne attempted to halt production of the film, after it learnt of plans to film in an environmentally sensitive area.
Production was later given the go-ahead.
