Aussie scuba diver survives shark attack

ADELAIDE, Australia — A shark attacked a scuba diver in South Australia on Sunday.
Authorities have not yet identified the shark attack victim but told CDNN a 24-year-old man was bitten by a shark while scuba diving with other divers at Second Valley on the Fleurieu Peninsula, about 95 kilometres from Adelaide.
"This guy was bitten rather savagely on the foot and also on the arm," a witness told reporters.
The injured scuba diver was rushed to Flinders Medical Centre for treatment and is expected to fully recover.
Shark diving
Australia is a popular shark diving destination where scuba divers can enjoy natural encounters with sharks that have not been provoked by shark feeders to perform for tourists.
That's good.
Conversely, there are a number of dive operators attempting to cash in on the popularity of shark diving by selling "guaranteed encounters" with sharks they manipulate with food to perform for thrill-seeking tourists.
That's bad.
As a safety precaution, divers are advised to avoid scuba diving altogether in areas where authorities have failed to ban shark feeding, which is bad for both sharks and people.
