Great White Attacks South African Diver

On Saturday, 22-year-old Henri Murray was scuba diving and spearfishing with his friend Piet van Niekerk in South Africa’s False Bay, outside Cape Town. In the middle of the afternoon, a Great White shark reportedly attacked Murray. To date, Murray’s body has not been recovered. 

Rescue services found a spear gun, a fin, a mask, a snorkel and parts of a weight belt belonging to Murray. Although van Niekerk claims he shot at the Great White with his spear gun, it evidently wasn’t enough to thwart the attack. Interestingly, False Bay plays host to a few Great White cage-diving operations.  I’m not suggesting there’s a causal connection; I’m just pointing out an interesting, related fact. Do you think there might be a causal connection?
