From the Sydney Morning Herald: A "nudge" by a scared shark has left a British tourist with slight injuries while diving at a marine park on Sydney's northern beaches. The man was grazed on the top of the head after an open-mouthed grey nurse shark lurched towards him after being frightened by a power surge at Oceanworld in Manly today. "The lights turned off due to the power surge which spooked the shark before it grazed one of the divers in there on the head," Chief Executive of Sydney Attractions Group Kevin Bush said. "It turned and scratched him with a tooth. "It did draw blood."

 

Mr Bush said the man's head was bleeding but did not require stitches. A NSW Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the man was conscious and breathing when ambulance officers arrived. "They sustained minor injuries only and did not require transport to hospital."

 

Mr Bush said the dive was discontinued after the incident but the tourist indicated he wanted to return to complete his "extreme dive". All five paying divers in the group had been offered a free dive, he said.
