PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA: A surfer and diver have been taken by big (4-5 meter) white pointer sharks in two separate attacks less than a week apart. The attacks occurred at two different Perth locations. The surfer in the late afternoon and the diver around midday.
Big predators in the water in WA.
Thoughts and prayers go out to friends and family. RIP

Sorry to hear that news...Rip
I ride on Cape Cod Mass, and we now have one of the largest Great White populations in the world. I have to say it's making me a little uneasy..

Yeh was unnerving kiting the same spot of the fatal shark attack the other day. Seeing more shadows than normal. Only us three locals in the water, especially as there had been another white pointer sighting that day. Even though got more chance of having a fatal car crash on the same day it messes with your mind. Tragic for the local community I must admit.
