After shark attack in Australia: Statements from locals raise questions
According to
Goldcoastbulletin
, locals described it as insane to swim or dive at this location.
Because sharks have been spotted there time and again.
These statements raise questions:
Why did the man go into the water despite the danger?
A local said he had been to Indian Head over 500 times and had never seen a shark at the site.
"It's crazy to go into the water there".
Shark expert Daryl McPhee
told
Courier Mail
that the island's waters are used as a spawning and rearing area for fish.
Therefore, many sharks are attracted to find food.
A shark attack therefore doesn't surprise him.
