A man who was free diving with spear fishermen off the South Australian coast was “swallowed whole†by a great white shark.
During an inquest hearing into the death of 28-year-old teacher Sam Kellett, witnesses described the February 2014 shark attack that ended his life.
“It made me turn around back out to sea and as I turned around I saw the tail of a shark come out of the water and it was thrashing around,†Aaron Whitaker said at the hearing, according to ITV. “I put my face under the water to see the shark but I could not see it. All of a sudden a white pointer shark came out of the murky water vertically towards the surface behind me and almost launched itself out of the water.â€
Witness Nicholas Carson said at the hearing he saw the 16-foot-long shark jump out of the water during the attack.
“I saw the whole body of a shark surface out of the water and dive down again into the water,†he said, according to Adelaide Now. “It looked like a great white shark. It happened so fast.â€

A man says his $26,000 Rolex wristwatch was stolen from a hotel swimming pool locker room while he went for a dip.
The incident happened at around 11:30 a.m. on July 17 on the 27th floor of the Eaton Chelsea Hotel on Gerrard Street in downtown Toronto.
The victim told police he placed his personal items, including the Rolex, into a changeroom locker and went for a swim. Police believe someone opened the locker between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and took the watch.
The watch is a Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665. Anyone who may have come to possess that type of watch is asked to contact police at 416-808-5200, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 (TIPS).

At the Sept. 29 Montgomery County Council meeting, Councilmember Nancy Floreen recognized Jim Clifford for swimming the English Channel.
After a dirt bike accident forced a 16-year-old swimmer’s leg to be amputated, she said she’s not letting it keep her from swimming toward her dreams.
Kali Garman was a swimmer at Algona High School, and she also spent a lot of time at the YMCA. Despite losing her leg in June, she is staying positive and said she’ll swim again.
Garman said she wouldn’t even look at her right leg right after her amputation in July.
“It kind of seemed like if I didn’t look at it, it wouldn’t be real,†she said.
Garman called swimming her mental escape.
