A 31-year-old scuba diver is injured after being bitten by a shark off the Tasmania coast near Adventure Bay, police say. The diver is airlifted to hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
Multiple reports describe the incident occurring in the waters around Bruny Island, with one account specifying Adventure Bay and another citing the broader Bruny Island area. The shark is described as a suspected broad-nose seven gill shark, with one source estimating the animal at about two metres.
Details about the circumstances of the bite, including whether the shark was confirmed by identification or remains a best estimate, are limited in the reports. Authorities provide the key confirmed information that the diver is being treated in hospital after the attack and that their condition is stable. The incident remains under investigation.
