hi guys
People are pretty shocked down here at this.
The news reports are Steve was scuba diving Batt reef filming a new documentary and which the reef is just off Port Douglas and north of the Low Isles. Steve was diving and the rays barb pierced Steve's heart @ 11 am and they believe he went almost immediately.
The boat he was diving off croc 1 rushed to low isles where the reef transport chopper was waiting but they said he was gone and announced at 12 noon.
There not quite sure why the ray attacked him but are speculating about reasons.
His wife is in Tasmania which is several hours flight from Queensland as she is hiking down there.
Whether you liked Steve or not he did alot for conservation, putting Australia on the map and he was a good family man that adored his wife and kids to the absolute extreme.
He will be missed here in Australia as like it or not he was one of a kind man that loved his life, what he did, his family, his country and tried to help all live better lives.

I must have read at least ten news reports about this and still can't believe it really happened.
Very, very sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.
It is nice though, to see how he played a positive role and was an inspiration to so many of us. He will be greatly missed.

A real shame - he was an amazing personality. Of course, he broke every rule in the book about interaction with wildlife, and in many ways it's a surprise he lasted this long. Still, some people are to be watched but never imitated...
Very sad....he made some amazing films.
