Crikey!
The victim - not in the water.
A nature guide, leading a group of tourists on a dolphin swim-along in Western Australia was attacked by what is believed to be Great White. The victim, 19-year-old Elyse Frankcom, was leading the group of swimmers when the shark came up from below and chomped on her thigh. As it did so, the shark passed by a fellow swimmer, a man, who grabbed the shark's tail, which caused it to let go. The shark then swam off.
The shocked victim began to plunge downward, so the man swam down to her and pulled her to the surface and the safety of a nearby boat. The woman was brought to a hospital in Perth and had a tooth removed from her buttocks. Talk about a love bite.

Sharks seem to be everywhere lately as a body boarder was killed near Santa Barbara less than two weeks ago and a scuba diver was attacked just last week off the coast of Maine.
