Intersted that the news article reports:

"Shark attacks are relatively common in Australian waters, home to some of the world's deadliest sea life. Scientists say there are an average of 15 shark attacks a year in Australia — one of the highest rates in the world — and just over 1 per year are fatal."

Seems pretty far out to say "relatively common"?

Id say that over one attack each month is infact relatively common..

Good job getting away from the menu of that shark.
