Diver bitten by shark off Protea Banks, Shelly Beach
He sustained injuries to the nerves and tendons on his right hand.
A local diver (26) was bitten by a shark while diving off Protea Banks, near Shelly Beach earlier today.
Rudi Prinsloo of Mi7 Ambulance Service said they waited at the base for the dive charter to beach with the injured diver.
K9 Search and Rescue Port Shepstone together with NSRI Shelly Beach Station 20 were also in attendance at the Sonny Evans Small Craft Harbour in Shelly Beach.
Prinsloo said they immediately treated the man’s right hand.
“The tendons and nerves of the man’s hand were severely severed,” he added.
They then transported him to Hibiscus Hospital.
It is believed the shark was a black tip shark, which is known to the divers.
“Divers have been diving with this particular shark for the last two or so years,” said Prinsloo.
