Diver left shocked after massive shark attacks Lisa Clack from Fisheries shows the fins that a diver was wearing when he was bitten by a shark in Hillarys. The fins that show the diver had a lucky escape. A DIVER was left shocked but unhurt when a shark reportedly bit his fins while diving for crayfish off Hillarys this morning. The Padbury man was diving with a friend near Little Island, about 2km from shore, when he reported seeing a "large dark shape" and bite marks from his fins. The pair flagged down a volunteer sea rescue team on their way back to shore, who raised the alarm with water police at about 11am. Fisheries spokeswoman Lisa Clack said the fins had marks consistent with a shark bite, but they could not rule out that the attack was from a seal or sea lion. "The man's head was out of the water at the time so he reported seeing a large dark shape and was pulled into the boat by his friends," Ms Clack said. He's still very shocked and concerned about the incident and says he won't go into the water for a few days. We're unable to confirm that it is a shark bite. There are some marks on the fins that are consistent with a shark bite, but there are other marks that you would expect to see that are missing. Whitfords Volunteer Sea Rescue skipper Bob Harrison said his crew were out on the water when the pair flagged them down and told them about the attack. "The guy said 'we've just been attacked by a shark'," Mr Harrison said. Mr Harrison said the man reported that the shark was about 4m in length. The attack came just hours after the Department of Fisheries detected a tagged white shark in nearby waters at Scarborough. But Ms Clack said it was unlikely the same shark was responsible for the attack because none of the three acoustic receivers near Little Island detected a shark. "Had it been a tagged shark, we would have expected a detection," she said. This morning, beaches were temporarily closed when the shark was detected travelling up the coast between Swanbourne and Scarborough. Surf Life Saving WA then advised that the shark was travelling north and was 2km off Scarborough Beach at 8.30am. Fisheries officers were stationed at Hillarys Boat Harbour to warn skippers about the reported attack at Little Island. This afternoon, a second diver in the South-West reported being "circled" by a shark at Meelup Beach, near Dunsborough. The diver reported the incident to Water Police just after 3.30pm. Fisheries advise a 4m + shark has bitten off scuba divers fins. just off Little Island Hillarys. Diver is ok. Reported at 10:55am today.
