As for broken nose, do you think that was from the cavity size? Maybe his mask smacked tight to his face and he’s trying to pull free – said he was shaken hard. In essence his mask (shattered) broke his nose, otherwise I'd think the shark palate would give to the nose protrustion.
He didn’t see the shark, noticed only when bit, reminds me of a fellow who woke up with his head in a bears jaws. :11:
The first Reuters report said he was an Abalone Diver, and diving but didn’t connect that he had any abalone with him or not. I don’t recall seeing Scuba anywhere.
I saw some Great White bite force studies and surprised not more damage to torso (than reported anyway) I’d think fractured ribs at least, maybe spine, pheumothorax and flail chest. Pretty hard to fight your way out with those. Ahhh, lead weight vest? took the brunt. What would a lead weight vest be? I’m thinking if was weight belt that would be one remarkable coincidence the shark bit just in that thin line, each tooth on a weight.
What a story, definitely one for the grandkids.

getting abalone will definitely attract a shark that is hungry.

No Doubt. After watching shark week on Discovery, my biggest fear is the Bull shark, but most of the time the attacks were in dark water, near breeding grounds or when provoked. Regardless, I still love sharks and can't wait to dive with them this spring! Remember, we are in their world, they aren't doing anything unreasonable.
