Australian diver killed by shark

An Australian cuttlefish research diver was presumably killed today by a "large shark" near Glenelg Beach, off the coast of Adelaide. The diver and his research partner were in the water when two colleagues on the boat saw a shark approach. The men on the boat were able to get one diver out of the water, but the shark used its snout to push the other diver back into the water.

A search was launched after the attack, but only an oxygen tank and a buoyancy vest were found.

Glenelg Beach is near West Beach, the location were Nick Peterson was fatally attacked by a great white while surfboarding.

The traumatized crew were not able to identify the shark but it is presumably a bronze whaler or a great white.
