A tour guide has told how he yelled at two young children to get out of the water as he was attacked by a 3m tiger shark at Coral Bay yesterday.
Dave Pickering, 26, who works for Coral Bay Eco Tours, last night told of his "scary" ordeal in which he punched the shark in self-defence.
He was hosting a group of four tourists at the popular snorkelling spot known as The Lagoon, 500m offshore, when the shark attacked about 11am.
At Jandakot Airport last night, Mr Pickering said his arm had been pouring blood everywhere following the attack and he believed the shark had bitten through to the bone.
"I was swimming with my arms down by my side and I turned around to make sure everyone was still alive in the water and turned around and, boom, there he was," Mr Pickering said.
