A deep-sea diver is counting his lucky stars after surviving a shark attack off the coast of Australia over the weekend.
The 31-year-old was bitten on the forearm by a shark measuring over 6-and-a-half feet in length off the coast of Tasmania, Australia shortly after 9 a.m.
Saturday, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
Tasmanian authorities say the man was diving with two other individuals approximately 165 feet off the shore of Adventure Bay at a depth of 26 feet when he was bitten by what is believed to be a broadnose sevengill shark.
The victim, who has not been identified, was brought to shore by fellow divers and then airlifted to the Royal Hobart Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Inspector Darren Latham with the Tasmania Police.
The diver is in stable condition, according to police.
According to Black, broadnose sevengill sharks are “generally regarded as harmless, but will come belligerent in situations where there is feed in the water or where there is a stimulus, such as fish blood, in the water.”
Since the attack on Saturday, police say there have been no further sightings of the shark.
