An Australian navy diver has been seriously injured in Sydney Harbour after being attacked by a shark. The 31 year-old was part of a clearance diving team based at HMAS Penguin and fought off the shark at Woolloomooloo Bay. Someone from the National Parks and Wildlife Service said that February and March is when you tend to get more sharks and surface fish in the harbour. The feeling is that this was a bull shark.
There is quite an extensive story in the Sydney Morning Herald.
