As people hear the story they add a detail or two to make that bit more interesting. IndoSurfLife.com preferred not to publish the story until we had all the correct information and different points of view to give you the complete picture. Wei Ong, an Australian citizen, from Perth, Western Australia, was staying at Istana Balian, owned by our friend and partner Michael Trott who told us the details of the incident: “Wei Ong hadn’t been surfing very much of late due to work commitments. He checked into Istana Balian and kept on extending his stay as he was having such a great time here in Balian and Istana. When it happened he was paddling out, in very dirty murky waters from the rain, and felt a pull on his hand. He said he felt no pain and when pulled his hand out of the water he had deep, obvious bite marks around his thumb area. Pretty freaked out he tried to paddle in but his hand was quite mangled and pieces felt like they were falling off. It took him around 20 minutes, paddling with only his left hand, to get back to shore, leaving a blood trail all the way. Wei saw nothing in the water and as quick as it happened, what ever it was, it was gone. When he got to shore he was helped and taken to Prima Medika Hospital where he underwent 4 hours of surgery and had three tendons re-attached. I suggested he get on the next plane back to Perth once cleared and have a re-check with a specialist there. Which is was what he did.&quot; “I had some experienced fisherman/surfers staying at my villa and they said that there is no way it was a huge shark; it was most probably a small reef shark. Fabio Cortesi, a PhD student, marine biologist and surfer shared his knowledge to help us understand what could have provoked this attack. “The attack is a real surprise to me because reported sightings of bigger sharks in the waters around Bali are very few and even then, are from way back in time. The sad fact is that not only Bali but all Indonesian waters have, especially in recent times, been heavily overfished. This coupled with a never ending demand for shark fins (apparently they make a good soup), has decimated the Indonesian shark populations heavily. Surfing or working, Fabio is always in the water Besides, sharks in general are probably one of the most misunderstood creatures on our planet. Since blockbuster movies like “Jaws” and “Deep blue sea” have appeared on screen, the fear of shark attacks seem to have skyrocketed. Yet, sharks are the most elegant and impressive marine creatures I can think of. They are an example of a perfectly adapted predator which has been living in our oceans for over 400 million years hence, since way before the dinosaurs walked the earth. Their sensory systems are extremely evolved. For example, some species have a sense of smell which allows them to detect miniscule amounts of blood (1ppm of blood in water) and the ability to detect alternating electric fields (created by movements) with a potential gradient of 0.1 µ Volt/cm. It is therefore to be understood that whenever we are out there surfing and sharks are even within kilometres from us, they will actually know of us. Fortunately though, humans are not on their usual menu plan and most shark attacks are probably to be considered an unfortunate combination of curiosity combined with a sharp set of teeth. Finally, as terrestrial beings it seems only natural for us to fear whatever is hiding under water and can not be controlled by our own doings. Nevertheless, and especially because we are surfers we should be grateful to the ocean and should understand how important it is to protect and to preserve the creatures living in it. ” The IndoSurfLife.com crew are still going to surf there, Balian is Bali’s most consistent wave, and it would be even better with less people out. Keep surfing! <a class="postlink" href="http://indosurflife.com/surfnews/388-shark-attack-in-bali.html">http://indosurflife.com/surfnews/388-sh ... -bali.html</a> <a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&amp;t=1470"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 1 Post || 2246 Views 2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents - News - Digest http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1470 http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1445 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 02:36:11 GMT <h5><a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewforum.php?f=45" title="2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents">2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents</a></h5> <b>11/27/2010 Michael Utley ( Australia ) ***Fatal***Scavenged?</b> Body of British backpacker missing for four days found at shark-infested Australian beach By Richard Shears <div class="inline-attachment">Michael_Utley.jpg</div> Tragedy: Mortuary workers are to check the body of Michael Utley to see if there is evidence of a shark attack A large shark, believed to be a feared great white, has been lurking in waters where a British backpacker lost his life, police said last night. Mortuary attendants have been asked to check if the body of 30-year-old Michael Utley, recovered from a beach in south west Australia, shows signs of a shark attack. However police could not immediately confirm if the Briton had been attacked or had drowned after being caught in a fierce current which had battered and bruised his body. Police Sergeant Bob Scott based at Jerramungup, near the town of Albany, 325 miles south of Perth, said the shark had been seen as evening was setting in and the darkness prevented it from being identified. 'A helicopter which was involved in the search did go closer to investigate the shark, but it went down into deeper water,' he said. 'Just the fact that it was in the area was a psychological factor but it didn't affect the search.' Mr Utley, from Bolton, went missing in the ocean off Native Dog Beach on Saturday and it wasn't until early yesterday that his body was found on neighbouring Dillon Beach, fronting Bremer Bay. A team of more than 100 rescuers, including police divers, surf life-savers, supported by helicopters and boats had combed the area. The body was found by volunteer searchers and while it has to be formally identified police sources said all the indications were that it was the Englishman. Hidden dangers: The rip current at Native Dog Beach saw Mr Utley's friends dragged to another part of the coastline, close to where he was found <div class="inline-attachment">Michael_Utley_2.jpg</div> While a possible shark attack is being investigated, police are also looking at the possibility that Mr Utley ran into trouble when he was caught in a strong current as he swam with four friends. The rip was so fierce that Mr Utley's friends were washed ashore on a beach around the coast from where his body was ultimately found. 'It's a pretty rough coastline and the conditions were atrocious where they went in to have a swim,' said Sergeant Scott. 'Where he was actually swimming there was a lot of foamy water about and visibility was poor because of that.' <div class="inline-attachment">Michael_Utley_3.jpg</div> Mr Utley, a plasterer, had been on a working holiday in Australia since December last year. His twin brother Mark, who lives in Westhoughton, Bolton, said his family had been 'keeping the faith' and hoping that Mr Utley had been carried ashore still alive onto a part of the coastline, which stretched for miles. 'As soon as they were faced with the waves, they all knew they had to go back to the shore,' said Mr Utley. <div class="inline-attachment">Michael_Utley_4.jpg</div> Predator: Mark's family have been told that a great white shark was spotted close to where he was found and that police are not ruling anything out He had been told by police before his brother was found that there was a shark in the water and police were not ruling anything out. Michael's mother, Susan, who lives in California, was last night flying back to the UK from Germany with her husband Graham Liles, who works there. Before the tragic news came in that the body found on Dillon Beach was almost certainly that of Michael, Mark said: 'I had spoken to him on Friday and he was saying he was going to stay out there (in Australia) because he was making good money and when he got back that we should go into the property business together.' Mark now plans to travel to Australia with his mother and is expecting to have to formally identify his brother's body. 'He was enjoying it in Australia and was looking forward to spending Christmas there,' he said. 'He would say he would 'just throw a shrimp on the barbecue' in his Australian accent.' Mark said his hard-working brother, who played even harder, was 'really popular' and lived life to the full. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1334763/Shark-seen-lurking-waters-British-backpacker-lost-life.html">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -life.html</a> <a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&amp;t=1445"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 1 Post || 3773 Views 2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents - News - Digest http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1445 http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1444 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 01:49:52 GMT <h5><a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewforum.php?f=45" title="2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents">2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents</a></h5> <b>10/20/2010 E.R.

Tourist Jordi Gracia on his hospital bed in Lautoka after being bitten by a shark in waters off Kulukulu in Sigatoka. BELOW: Gracia's injured foot. Picture: BALJEET SINGH A SPANISH tourist was out surfing along the Coral Coast waters unaware of the danger that lurked beneath him. On Friday morning, Jordi Gracia and 12 others were taking their morning surfing lessons on the waters off Kulukulu in Sigatoka when he was attacked by a shark. &quot;I was trying to swim out into the waves when I felt sharp teeth snap around my ankle and tugged at it,&quot; said Mr Gracia. Witnesses said in seconds the water around him turned red with his blood. Mr Gracia immediately turned back to shores. &quot;My first thought was to get out of the water as soon as possible. I did not feel any pain at first because I was in shock.&quot; Upon reaching the shore, he found a deep, open wound around his ankle. &quot;My friends took me to the Sigatoka Hospital where I was later transferred to Lautoka Hospital,&quot; he said. Mr Gracia and his friend, Albert Martinez, have been travelling around the globe and Fiji was their third stop after spending weeks in New Zealand and Australia. Shark attacks at the Sigatoka River mouth is not uncommon. There have been documented attacks. In 2006, surfer Paul Chong Sue, 21, was bitten on the arm while paddling out to catch a wave at the Sigatoka River mouth, on March 18. Fellow surfer, Ratu Naiqama told The Fiji Times, in an interview: &quot;The shark came from below his board and bit his right arm.&quot; For the attack on Friday, Mr Martinez said, &quot;I was really worried about him because when I saw the amount of blood I thought the shark had ruptured an artery. I only focused on getting him out of the water and after we had reached the hospital I was very relieved.&quot; Originally from Barcelona, Spain, the two, who are journalists, were to return to Australia then head off to South America. &quot;We normally are the ones writing the news but this time we are the stories,&quot; said Mr Martinez. The two are radio and television journalists in Spain. &quot;This has not changed our views of Fiji. We definitely will return because I believe that if it happened once it can't happen twice,&quot; said Mr Gracia. Mr Gracia is recovering at the Lautoka Hospital and hopes to be swinging on the dance floors of Buenos Aires next month. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=162243">http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=162243</a> <a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&amp;t=1442"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 2 Post || 2962 Views 2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents - News - Digest http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1442 http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1441 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 01:46:17 GMT <h5><a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewforum.php?f=45" title="2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents">2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents</a></h5> <b>12/11/2010 Andrew Wilson ( Hawaii )</b> <span style="font-weight: bold">Maui man hospitalized after apparent shark attack</span> Last Update: 12/12 6:24 pm A Maui man was taken to the hospital Saturday afternoon after he was bitten by what officials believe was a shark.

Kydd Pollock was saved from possible death by his diving mask when the grey reef shark bit him three times in the face and on the head in a lagoon off Palmyra Atoll, in the Northern Pacific. &quot;He's extremely lucky... considering where it happened on his head where he was at the time... a remote place with few medical supplies and little prospect of getting to ,&quot; his father, Whakatane-based sport fishing charter skipper Rick Pollock, told Sunday News. Rick said Kydd, 33, had been doing marine research at Palmyra, about 1800km from Honolulu – one of the most isolated islands in the Pacific. Kydd, who was snorkelling, and two or three scuba divers were using nets to capture giant hump headed Maori wrasse for tagging. &quot;This six-to-seven foot reef shark swam into one of the nets and got caught,&quot; Rick said. &quot;My son was... on the other net. They cut the shark out and... once it got out of the net it panicked and it made a beeline for the other net. &quot;It looked like the shark was going to swim right into the net again and get tangled, so he grabbed the floatline and swam down to the bottom with it. The shark swam right past him, went through as he had hoped but spun around – and that's when the attacks started on his head. &quot;The first bite was on the back of his head. The second bite, which was potentially the worst one, that was the one that his mask took the full... brunt of. It shattered the glass and twisted the mask into a pretzel, so I just can't imagine what sort of force went into that. And then it came back for a third time and grabbed him on the forehead and the top of the head.&quot; Rick said it was extremely lucky the shark didn't inflict a severe injure on Kydd, like puncturing his eye or severing an artery, because it would have taken a medivac 12-24 hours to get him to a mainland hospital. Palmyra is half way between Hawaii and American Samoa. Instead, his girlfriend Amanda patched him up. &quot; is there on the island... she's a PhD, not a medical doctor. They didn't actually have a medical officer on there. She was the next best thing,&quot; Rick said. &quot;She's the one that stitched him and sewed him... and stapled him up. I thought it was quite remarkable that she would be able to divorce herself of any sort of emotional entanglement and was able to deal with the issue as it stood. She shaved his head... and did everything that was required, and I really take my hat off to her.&quot; <img src="http://static2.stuff.co.nz/1292074949/434/4449434.jpg" alt="Image" /> <img src="http://static2.stuff.co.nz/1292074967/356/4449356.jpg" alt="Image" /> <span style="font-style: italic">Above and below, Kydd Pollock straight after the attack.</span> <img src="http://static2.stuff.co.nz/1292050271/357/4449357.jpg" alt="Image" /> <span style="font-style: italic">Staples hold the edges of the bite marks on Kydd's head.</span> Rick said despite the attack, at about 1.30pm on November 19, his son &quot;doesn't harbour any malice towards sharks at all&quot;. &quot;He doesn't actually refer to it as an attack. He's looking more of a defensive manoeuvre from a panicked animal.&quot; Kydd told him about his mauling about an hour after it happened. &quot;He skyped me. I was kind of shaken. As it sank in, the what-ifs started falling into place and I thought, `Gee it could have been very, very bad',&quot; Rick said. Grey reef sharks are an aggressive species and have been responsible for a number of attacks on humans. Kydd, just one year old when his family moved here from the United States, has grown up around the ocean. Rick runs sport fishing charter operation White Island Marine Charters. At 18, Kydd became the youngest person to obtain a skipper's ticket in New Zealand. He also completed his scuba instructor certificate in the same year. He enrolled at Townsville's James Cook University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science. After co-captaining the family's 17m sport fishing boat Pursuit, he moved to Hawaii where he helped set up an open-ocean aquaculture farm. Kydd has also constructed an offshore fish farm for the Portuguese government, and skippered a sport fishing boat from Florida to Panama. Now living in Honolulu, he spends four to six months a year at Palmyra. He is a science specialist for The Nature Conservancy, a leading conservation organisation working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4449680/Kiwis-horror-shark-attack">http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4449680 ... ark-attack</a> <a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&amp;t=1440"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 1 Post || 2862 Views 2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents - News - Digest http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1440 http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1439 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 00:55:11 GMT <h5><a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewforum.php?f=45" title="2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents">2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents</a></h5> <b>10/23/2010 Liam Walker ( Australia )</b> Liam Walker 14 years old was bitten in the shallows by a 5-6 ft shark, most likely a bronze whaler while kite surfing, Saturday (October 23, 2010) at Wedge Island, approximately 140 km North of Perth, Western Australia? <div class="inline-attachment">liam_willams.jpg</div> There is also a clip on You tube: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjarAiQIij8&amp;feature=player_embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjarAiQI ... r_embedded</a> Thanks for the info from Neil Hall <a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&amp;t=1439"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 1 Post || 1573 Views 2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents - News - Digest http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1439 http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1438 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 14:34:29 GMT <h5><a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewforum.php?f=45" title="2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents">2010 Shark Attack Related Incidents</a></h5> <b>12/05/2010 Renate Seiffert ( Egypt ) *** Fatal ***</b> 5 December 2010 Last updated at 13:18 GMT <span style="font-weight: bold">Shark attack kills German tourist at resort in Egypt</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">A German woman has been killed in a shark attack while snorkelling off the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, officials say.</span> The death comes after four people were injured in similar attacks at the resort earlier in the week.
