Taucher in Südafrika fast von Hai verschluckt Abgesandt von Jessica am 06.06.2005 - 15:04:
A SCUBA diver was swallowed almost whole by a great white shark yesterday in a Jaws-style attack just offshore from Cape Town.
Conservationists are now expecting renewed calls for killer sharks to be hunted down following the death of medical student Henri Murray, 22 - the latest in a series of attacks. Great whites have been a protected species in South African waters since 1990, but calls for a cull have been growing following the deaths of several South African swimmers and surfers this year.
Two British surfers survived - although one needed 200 stitches to leg wounds and the other had to have 100 stitches to torn hips and buttocks. In yesterday`s attack, Mr Murray`s diving partner, 23-year-old Piet van Niekerk, shot the great white with his speargun in a desperate attempt to drive it away, but he did not see his friend again.
Dave Estment, a yachtsman, was sitting on the jetty at Simon`s Town, near Cape Town, when he saw the great white breach the surface.
"It was incredibly fast. The two spear fishermen were not far from the beach. Suddenly a huge shark surged from under the water taking the one diver [from his legs upwards] to his arms in its jaws," he said.
"It must have been massive to have done that. Then the shark and the man just vanished." Other witnesses to the attack estimated the shark`s length at 20 feet.
Hundreds of onlookers lined the coastal road yesterday as a helicopter, police diver and boat search was carried out in an unsuccessful attempt to find the body of Mr Murray, who was studying at the University of Stellenbosch.
Divers from the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) recovered a weightbelt - so damaged that it looked as though it had been sliced through with a knife - a mask, a speargun, a rubber flipper and a buoy with speared fish that had been attached to a trailing line.
NSRI spokesman Craig Lambinon said he believed the shark could have been attracted by the fish. Great white shark tour operators, who lower visitors in cages among the great whites, use chopped-up fish to lure sharks to the cages.
Dr Cleeve Robertson, head of Cape Town`s emergency services, said Mr Van Niekerk, a university friend of Mr Murray, was extremely traumatised by the attack.
He and members of Mr Murray`s family were receiving counselling.
Dr Robertson said the spear, designed for smaller fish, was unlikely to have caused much damage to the great white.

A Matie student desperately fought off a Great White near Cape Town, twice managing to scare the predator away before it launched a fatal attack on him.
Cape Town - A fifth-year medical student desperately fought off a Great White at Miller`s Point on Saturday, twice managing to scare it away.
But the shark attacked Henri Murray, 22, for a third time, locking its powerful jaws around the young man.
Murray and Piet van Niekerk, 23, were spear-fishing when the shark attacked.
The attack took place at about 15:45, approximately 200m from shore in 6m-deep water.
Henri saw the shark and warned his friend that they should get out of the water, his father, George Murray, said on Sunday.
Van Niekerk shot the shark with his speargun, but it would not let go of Murray.
On Sunday, a severely traumatised Van Niekerk took part in the search for Henri`s remains.
Henri`s speargun, weight belt, diving goggles, snorkel and a flippers were found on Saturday.
The top of his red wetsuit washed ashore at Muizenberg. The keys to his car were in one of the suit`s pockets.
At their Durbanville home on Sunday, Henri`s parents, George and Lizette, said they accepted that it had been "his time to go".
He was the third of five sons and was described by his mother as the "pillar in the centre".
The family said their faith would see them through this difficult time.
"People often go overboard after a shark attack, but there are far more dangerous sports than water sports," his father said.
"It`s safer to dive than to drive a car.
"I was always a lot more worried when Henri went rock climbing."
Antwort von **-diver am 07.06.2005 - 13:56 Na wenigstens seine Eltern nehmen´s "sportlich".
Sicherlich sind Autofahren und Klettern gefährlicher, aber wenn man den "Kick" etwas erhöht, dann geht´s auch beim Wassersport.
Speerfischen im Weißhai-Territorium ist da sicher die geeignete Methode - analog dazu vielleicht mit einer Rinderkeule durch eine Alligatorfarm spazieren.
Und das Tier, das seinen Instinkten folgt, ist wieder mal die Bestie.
