An amazing story just popped up in the local Sunday Newspaper relating to a monster shark lurking off the main coast area around Brisbane. Yesterday a 3.5mtr White Pointer (Great White) was almost bitten in half by an unseen predator, the general opinion is that it was another White Pointer but with the bite marks that it left on the smaller version the monster must be in the region of 5/6mtrs. Just to put things in perspective the picture shown with this article is about the size of the one almost bitten in half. The body was found just off Stradbroke Island caught in shark nets there to protect swimmer on the local beach.

One great thing has come to light with the publishing of this story the amount of public opinion that is in favour to leave the sharks alone, I was very surprised at the feeling of the majority of people mainly saying that ‘they are king of the food chain in the sea, leave the poor buggers alone’

You have to love the way the Australians use the English language but I am in favour of what they say. You may wonder if I have become obsessed with sharks as all the articles I write are about them, well the answer is ‘Yes I am’. Anyone who has dived with these great creatures cannot fail to be moved by them, also they make great reading.
As long as the big scary bugger is nowhere near me!!!

Safe diving.
