Scuba diver Simon Nellist died in a shark attack in Little Bay, Sydney, on February 16, 2022, after suffering "catastrophic injuries”, according to police and ambulance services. It’s the first fatal shark attack in the city since 1963. Police said Little Bay has since been closed off. A day after the attack, several beaches in Sydney's south were also shut. Drum lines, which are used to bait sharks, have been installed across the area. Officials have also launched drones to try and find the shark.

Whatever the lady said was absolutely right. The ocean is the domain and home for all these sharks and other marine species. So we are anyways putting ourselves at risk by venturing in their domain.
My prayers with the victims family and friends.
People KNOW there are sharks in the water, yet they put themselves in danger because they arrogantly believe only others get killed by sharks. He was swimming in an area that locals know it's a popular spot for large fish. It's stupidity that anyone swim where he was swimming. His death was so unnecessary 🤦♀️.
And it is up to us that we prove ourselves we are better than sharks. By hunting them for sport.
@@jameshubert6103 that's not going to happen thankfully
@@chateaupig826 and why not?
@@jameshubert6103 cuz the shark will fortunately eat you and remove this speck of dirt on humanity.
Well said from the woman
Can't agree more
@@lastChang hahaha 😂 and the sharks are scared going into the Chinese terretorial waters then
@@scottforbes4933 they are not scared, south China territorial waters are notorious for tiger sharks, and they were responsible for taking countless lives of people swimming illegally to HK during the 50s - 70s
Can't argue with the woman. It's like taking a safari trip and you are injured by some animal like a lion. Sure they are land animals, but if you wanted to get those "great" pictures, you accepted that risk.The animals doesn't deserve to die, because you knocked on their door.
Yep. Same thing happened to Steve Irwin. He kept antagonizing animals to make them attack, all to get some film footage close-up. He lost his life mucking around with a sting ray.
@@ab-bc2gr Do you have a published statement where he specifically stated he antagonized animals for camera action?
condolences to his family and friends.
Dude on TV: "coast is our backyard"
Shark: Yeah, about that...
Its just something you've got to do with your community Mate
Just be sure to swim in a crowd
I’m terrified of sharks….I won’t even go past my knees in the ocean and I’m a 34yr man….Prayers for his family, that’s really sad and tragic.
Unless you defeat a shark in a battle, you are not a man
@@chiefrabbi6735in land a person may have chance to defeat but in ocean no chance either you are dead or your legs or hands gone
Sharks are mostly very quite and affection loving, they avoid humans as they are not their food sourse. This is quite exceptional case.
@@chiefrabbi6735 nice one .. troll
@@physicscal2142 u probably read that on internet ..and believe everything u read ..
We cant blame those sharks she might be hungry. Like the lady said they own the ocean its their domain.
Edit: No disrepect of the victim
Agree. They make the shark as the bad guy but it's just trying to survive
I don't see anyone blaming the sharks.
@@tomatosalad6826 its just OP giving his opinion, he's not directing this comment to anyone in particular
Well said 100%
Did you just assume the sharks gender???
Fun fact: more people get killed by vending machines each year than sharks.
A vending machine doesn't eat you alive though that's where the fear is to humans but I'm 150% with you on this protect the sharks.
@@Fixingthingz4u No but a vending machine can crush you to death. Which is worse, eaten alive or slow asphyxiation?
yes i was once followed by a sketchy vending machine one late night.. cant forget that 😢
@@orbitalpotato9940 neither please 😂
@@ba-tobartc.6230 you really gotta watch out for the ones with cans in them. they can hit you from range.
"Officials have also launched drones to try and find the shark" - what are they going to do when they find it?
I was wondering the same thing. It's a shark. It doesn't need to be hunted or killed, why are they tracking it? Poor diver knew he was going into the ocean, may he rest peacefully.
They plan to capture it and move it in deeper waters.
Tag it
@@meowlinae1480 Actually, that is a great idea. A lot more can be learned about these magnificent animals.
Well they gonna have some shark fins for dinner tonight.
That’s a reminder from nature that we are gravely disrespecting and underestimating its power
100%
As they say, once you swim in the sea, its the sharks territory. A very tragic death R.I.P🙏🏻
I never heard of that saying before, is that where your area only says it?
Either way , theres nothing you can do when a shark decides to attack you -goodbye life
Rest in Peace.
And prayers for him, his family and his freinds.
I like the statement of the lady. She is true, we should live in our premises
sad for the person's death but the woman really nailed it
0:27 "Our coastline is our backyard"
Uhm nope it's the habitat of animals like sharks 🤦
@Reinhard I don't get your point at all
@@traeco5904 save your breath hunny
I feel so sorry for this, pray for his soul 🙏 what this woman said sounds stony but very reasonable ….. please protect yourself well if you wanna take risk
Though the person who died is a scuba diver, he died while swimming. He did not die while scuba diving.
Condolences to Simon Nellist family and friends.
Doesn't make any difference. He died while gambling in a sharks domain.
I don't care I love sharks and shark attack. Shojldnt have been there he knew the risks.
What a shame 😢
He died from his own choice of activity.
No sharks fault.. I think intelligent uk people don’t even care, he died from taking his own risks.
Just curious. What does the Intelligent U.K people do for water activity?
no, he died cause the shark ate him. You naive person. The shark could eat anything in the ocean. But it choose you. That’s not survival. That’s just seeing you as food. And you try blame the man ? saying it’s not the sharks fault. You little snowflake. course it’s the Sharks fault. i hate your type. if that was your brother “ would you say it’s your brothers fault ?
why don’t you “mr wizard “ go live with sharks ? go live with em, picking sharks over humans. Why you respecting something that will eat you for breakfast ? That’s enemy in water. That’s dangerous. Don’t sit behind ya screen telling everyone it’s not the sharks fault
Indonesia beach no shark, no dangerous jellyfish, cheap accommodation, still warm...so lets happy holiday to indonesia
Now i understand why australians prefer Bali eventhough they have many great beaches lol
No it's their back yard. We are just guests.
Hey, woman was right. It's their domain. But wished she said it without smiling... or is that just her resting face?
Exactly
Nah I find that people with the sun directly shining on their eyes will grimace/smile because they lifted up their cheeks to make their eyes smaller.
One place off from my travel list: the beaches in Australia.
My condolence to the victim, however why are they trying to track the shark? Are they like going to hunt it? Leave the poor animal alone it didn’t do anything that wasn’t in his nature. As the lady said, it’s their domain and we put ourselves in danger stepping in their territory.
Prayers for him, his family and his friends.
I have nothing else to say except “play with fire and you get burned”, never risk ur life for momentary Fun.
This is the first time I'll agree with a Karen. We're land people and it's the shark's territory.
Hollywood be like "lets make a movie out of it"
RIP for the deceased and patience for the family. Woman rightly said its their domain.
I’m sorry to hear😣
my condolences to his family
Pray for him and rest in peace 🙏
Shark has the right to self defense
Say that to his family and tell me again whether the shark defended itself!!
@@iii___iii I am assuming the role of prosecutor!
It's not about self defense. That's just a really silly comment. It's about a human making a very bad decision and paying for it with his life.
My condolences to the family who has to suffer this tragic lost. Hope the city does some drastic changes to prevent this horrible experience from happening again. I can't even start to comprehend the tremendous amount of suffering and pain that the victim had to experience moments before death... horrifying.
the city shouldnt do anything, the diver knew that he was responsible for his own life the moment he entered shark territory, can only blame his own bad luck
It's just natural selection. The word victim is only for people who didn't go out of their way to seek danger.
@@edenassos Well yeah, you guys are right.. it’s the first in more than 60 years so that’s the word that came in my mind.. really really unlucky
I find it fascinating
How about risk takers making some drastic changes to their thought patterns. You play in a killers domain expect to die.
You have no clue !
They ocean is very scary condolences to his family
British expat Simon Nellist.
You take your own life into your own hands the moment you set foot in the ocean and you had better show it the respect it deserves.
Shark in australia is quite ferocious and very hungry & very angry hahaha
Very sad but the lady is right.
Question. Why does it say no fatal shark attacks for 60 years but @ 2:15 it says there were 2 fatal shark incidents in 2021 and 7 in 2020? Am I reading this wrong? Someone please help.
No fatal attacks for 60 years at Sydney city beaches, the attacks were from elsewhere around Australia
Don't blame the shark,
no one blamed the shark mate no one blames the shark
That shark now have tasted human flesh and blood. If you can´t find it, it will attack on humans again.
Why are they tracking the shark ... it wasn't wearing a covid mask? Sometimes I think the animals are more intelligent than us!🥴
Leave that shark alone
Your coastline is not your back yard. It's the home of dangerous creatures who live there..human arrogance at its worst: thinking we own everything, can go anywhere we want
Sehr traurig 😢😢😢
My condolences. But is anyone really surprised?
0:07 what do u expect if u swim at shark infested water ?
its not infested its because there was fisherman in the area and their bait prob attracted the shark and if you look at the video of the attack normally sharks dont go close to the shore or coast and the shark was prob hungry who knows
@@justiny8519 so is mean the fisherman is the indirect suspect coz their bait attract the shark and endangered the swimmer and nobody tell the swimmer about that.interesting case.
@@coolinspirefunnybook1289 Yh that swimmer swam at his own risk everyone knows the risk of swimming it’s just the fishermen was there and the shark nets didn’t work and yh rip
i saw the video rest in peace to that bloke and hope it doesnt happen again
slim chance.
The video of the attack was brutal
Rest in peace
Why is a great white shark attack in Australian waters such a shock? It's just ridiculous to keep hearing ppl saying that. The ocean is a wilderness & the GW sharks' home . If we dress up like shark food & go swimming in their home we know the risks we're taking. Simon was a dive instructor, he knew the risks. He miscalculated, was complacent or arrogant. In any case, he wasn't vigilant enough & paid the ultimate price. We can only pray Madam Great White did her work expertly & spared Simon any pain &/or suffering but ended his life if not instantly, within seconds of the initial attack.
We pray for Simon's eternal soul. May he find peace & joy in the next place on his journey.
why track the shark?
so they know the sharks movements and patterns they do this to wildlife so they know where they go so they can protect it
Correct me if i'm wrong, but Animals dont attack unless they are triggered right?
If they come at you, they are just curious. Cuz i have seen videos where Killer Whales, swim with people.
Not against anything, and Condolences for the Bereaved family
People where fishing nearby which probably triggered the shark to come close to shore.
its not too clear tbh, animals have very different mindset and can be very hard to predict their next move
prob thought the person was a seal and there were fisherman in the area so yh rip to that bloke
Too many sharks in Australia. Do take care.
Sad.
She is right...same with going into dangerous jungles or jumping out of a plane.....always chance of a risk
RIP
I agree with the lady. It's the risk we take. They shouldn't be searching for the shark. Why?
Bad behaviour
You eat fish, fish eat you back.....its tht simple actually
Poor guy
I kindly ask you to visualize, just for few seconds, what being killed by a great white shark looks like. Imagine its jaws and razor-sharp teeth crashing your ribs like breadsticks, its inexpressive black eyes looking at you while your blood changes the color of the water and your guts leave your body to reach the surface. Imagine realizing how unexpactably awful your death has been while you're still alive, realizing you were just 35 years old and the best part of your life just started, Imagine recalling from your memory all the times you said sharks were beautiful, demonized creatures we all should love and care about, all the times you saw them while scuba-diving and thought: "they would never attack someone who knows how to deal with them".
what a shame
And yet we go in where they roam, we are at the bottom of the food chain in there territory
He would be ok with it I think
That kind of blood loss and injury allows for very little clarity of thought. In fact he would have passed out from blood loss before he could drown
Looks like someone thinks Jaws was a documentary.
That's why we created sharkfins soup. They are to be eaten
This guy knew the risks he was taking, sad what then happened, but hard to feel sorry for someone that put themselves in that very situation. If you swim in the ocean, you take the risk, simple as that!
Its not your backyard it's their ocean.
I never saw the word for shark only this world is for every living being dumby
We eat fish so what is wrong with having fish eating us? RIP nonetheless.
Yeah what wrong if your family die by a tiger
What's wrong if I can't pass an exam
So you eat fish with human dead.
sharks don't like the taste of human flesh, they often mistaken humans for the favourite preys the seals. That's why there are usually human remains after shark attack, if the sharks like human then there wouldn't be any remains left!
@@tonyvu2011 this particular shark came back for seconds
Terrible. But also terrible this will cause many sharks to die. They are wild animals. Know the risks
Australian beaches are dangerous, crocs, sharks, snakes, jelly fish, basically every animal that could kil you once you put your feet into the water. Also they have problem with crocodile overpopulation there, YIKESSS!
Dangerously australia often again and again
Oh noooi bondi beach
Not a scuba diver
Well, if we stopped stealing all their food...
RIP Simon Nellist 🙏
His horrific death by a Great White Shark 🦈 has made me stick to swimming pools
Oceans are the shark’s domain and I truly respect that
This is the proof that the Ocan foods is drying up even Shark come up to human for Lunch time! Sad Human have eaten everything Very sad for the guy . But I hope human don't go and wipe out all the shark. Human can wipe out any living animal of this earth.
Yeah it's there's ocean
*PUBLIC TOILETS 🕌🕋🚽💩*
Very sad and I am so sorry for the family! But as the woman said it is their territory! Saw a news clip talking about the monster and so on... That doesn't help at all!!!! Sharks are no monsters!!!!!!
that shark tasted human blood now it will attack more humans
Thanks for swimming in the domain of the shark and being eaten. I love sharks and I love shark attack attacks they so natural and raw. He knew there were sharks there and still swam in it's domain.
Baby shark shark shark sha sha shark
Amszing
Sharks used their 3rd amendment
I fell very bad but in my country there is no sharks no dangerous shark I only saw a little shark one time iam from Asia a really small county name called malidives 🇲🇻
And in Maldives people swim every were like what I said there is no shark in Maldives

The number of Great Whites is increasing all along Australia's coastline a lot has to do with the annual whale migration. Where you have whales you will have GWs. I'm obviously in the minority here but if a shark kills a human it should be eliminated what happens in the Masai Mara in South Africa when a rogue lion starts killing livestock and dare I say, people, it's tracked down and killed as is a man-eating Leopard in India so what gives Great Whites more privileges than a lion or leopard? In Western Australia where I live we have dozens of shark sightings had a 4-metre shark reported on Sharksmart a couple of weeks ago swimming in the Murray River estuary just a few metres from the sidewalk cafes. Kids swim in the river how dangerous is that. A 4-metre shark in that area equates to a Great White, Tiger Shark or Bull Shark as GWs have been reported in the river before I would suggest it was GW.
Dont forget the crocs too. the crocs population have exploded, and you kiled feral cats instead lol.
Agreed.Sharks learn to,now this shark knows that its easy.The shark is huge,so no one will survive a attack.So brutal
Me pet great white sharks
Any vaccine against shark?
yes .... a brain.
Sharks want meat 🍖...
Well
When will we realise we are in the animal Kingdom backyard, it's been their home for centuries b it land, ocean or Iceland, we have been invading their space n home. N I am sure, if u c anyone enter your home anytime how will u react. May his soul rip.
