Shark Attack off Adelaide, South Australia

[jepuskar]

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the one buddy who lived said he got brushed by the shark at first and initially thought it was a dolphin, but quickly realized it wasnt They are also reporting this attack happened at 16ft in something like 50-60 feet of water.

Same reports about the diver calmly trying to free himself from the shark. This story urks me, but then again...I doubt I would dive in waters known for Great Whites...but it could happen anywhere at anytime.

Well, at least they found his "oxygen" tank... I hate the press sometimes.

I'm with you...
