Stillwater cove GWS attack

I heard about it from an instagram video post from pacificnalu_spearfishing who was on the scene.

Was there last weekend and when we came in there was a father and son in a tandem who said they had a shark hang around them for a bit . They  said it returned an hour later and bumped the Kayak.

Did you post this last week too?

I'm supposed to fish there on Wed.  12/6.  Prolly will bail if no one can join me.  Have shark shield.  Should I go?  I know the incidents are uncommon.  They just seem more common.  I have some normal fear, but it's a little enhanced... 

Last i heard guy is in stable condition so he should pull through. PBC will have sws closes at least till Mon. I'll post any changes to beach access as soon as I find out

Hope he's ok, I was supposed to go out there today but had a late night last night with family and friends so I didn't have my truck preloaded so opted to go tomorrow. Sounds like it's closed? I will hit Corral street instead if any one wants to go.
E-

on the 11pm news they released some photos.  The victim was a speardiver at stillwater.  Saved by 2 off duty policemen.  He underwent surgery for injury to his leg but did not lose it.  Expected to recover. (Thank God.)  He has a green kayak.

damn i hope the injuries are minimal, and non perminant.  these things do happen, be careful guys!  i frequent sws a lot, never had that creepy feeling, but from now on i think ill start having that feeling.

Was out there a month or two ago all bye my self just past the kelp to the right makes me think about all the lonely wolf I do . I need a friend.. Growing up in south Florida shark bites are common not talked about much but I seen them and it happens will it stop me from getting out????? No just told the wife to up the Life insurance$$$$$$. I like to think of all the car recks I have seen over the years and crosses on the side of the road for as the old man told me when it’s your time it’s just your time . Thanks for the heads up that’s sum real sobering Shi#... Is it time to hunt them again or what? There’s no getting around it there are a lot more of them now and are moving to popular places for people just watch shark week.. ok well god bless the Vic hopefully a speedy recovery and thankfully he had a friend.

1. Original post has the guys leg bitten off.

2. Later reports state shark bite in upper thigh with leg intact.

3. Instagram vid states two divers in zodiac diving deep.

4. Then another post stating victim diving off a green kayak.
This info I'm guessing was gathered from arial vid that shows a vacant green yak in shallow water.

Got to love the consistency in these reports.

Anyone have an update?

That’s pretty much every news story ever. There’s what is reported, there’s what is updated, and there’s what actually happened. Literally every single news story I’ve ever been involved in has been misreported in some substantial way.

ThatÂ’s how rumors get started.  This morning the news said two off duties deputies helped the Diver and put a tourniquet on him and brought him to shore.  So maybe it was their boat.  And the people on shore only reported what they saw.

Lots of info here I'm pretty sure I met them once at another dive spot close by. The father and son we met were very experienced divers and very friendly.

This attack has me troubled since I dive it regularly with my son and was there about a week ago and we were planning to hit it again this weekend.

Glad he's going to be OK.

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery.
