Shark Attacks Escalate Off Australian Coastlines: What's Behind the Surge? A 31 year old scuba diver was bitten by a broadnose sevengill shark while diving in Adventure Bay, Tasmania, on Saturday.
The incident left him with non life threatening injuries and serves as another disturbing reminder of Australia's growing shark problem. This attack follows a string of recent incidents off the country's shores.
In Sydney, a 35 year old woman was critically injured in a shark attack last month, prompting a safety review of popular beaches.
