Woman, 32, fighting for life as shark bites her HEAD while diving leaving her with ‘extreme injuries’ in Australia

A WOMAN has been left fighting for her life after a shark bit her head when she was diving.

The 32-year-old suffered “extremely serious head injuries”, and is in hospital.

The SA Ambulance were first on the scene after getting horror reports of a shark mauling a woman’s face.

Emergency services rushed to Port Noarlunga in Adelaide after the terrifying event and found the woman conscious and breathing but with severe facial injuries.

It comes just a week after a 55-year-old South Australian surfer named Tod Gendle was fatally killed by a shark at a beach near Streaky Bay.

That was the second death in South Austarlia this year after Simon Baccanello, 46, a teacher was killed by a shark near Elliston.
