Shark Bite Alert Near Bruny Island | Perth News
Description
A diver got bitten by a two-meter broadnose sevengill shark off Bruny Island while exploring eight meters down—thankfully, injuries were non-life-threatening but serious. Police are on high alert, patrolling with the Dauntless boat and urging swimmers to stay vigilant in the area. This rare but chilling incident comes on the heels of another shark sighting nearby, reminding locals that Tasmanian waters host diverse sharks—including great whites—but this sevengill, known for its seven gill slits and seabed habits, is the current focus. The diver is stable in hospital, and authorities are asking anyone who spots a shark—especially one acting aggressively—to call triple zero immediately.
