A scuba diver luckily avoided getting serious injuries after being bitten by a shark in Adelaide early this week.

According to reports, the unnamed 24-year old man was scuba diving off Second Valley on the Fleurieu Peninsula, located nearly a hundred kilometers from Adelaide late in the morning when he was bitten by the shark.

A spokeswoman from the South Australian Ambulance revealed that the young man was bitten on the hand and foot. He was immediately rescued and taken to the Flinders Medical Center for immediate treatment. The doctors said that he had incurred minor injuries.

Witnesses shared that the shark that attacked the young man was about two meters long. The aforementioned area has been known to be infested with sharks but there are conflicting statements saying that these occurrences are extremely rare.

My name is Josh and I've been crazy about water since I was little as my dad was the most enthusiastic watersports fan I know. I started surfing when I was 6 and have since been doing kitesurfing, sailing and water skiing. I love other water sports as well and this blog is dedicated to that.
