Testi ISRP- Italian Shark Research Project Via Meloria, 2 I-20148 Milano MI phone/fax +39-2-32 72 777 mobile +39-360-211 360 Email: ISRP#galactica.it Victim:Kina Scollay Age:22 Sex:Male Date:about 15-20 DEC 95 Locale:Chastham Islands, New Zealand Eye withnesses:a friend staying on a small tender. Description of the attack: while scuba diving (or snorkeling?) the victim has been harassed by a 5 mt long shark that firstly bite his hips but, thanks to the scuba belt, the shark did not cause deep injuries. At the second (and last) attack, the victim has been bitten at a leg (caf?) and he hit the shark on its head using a stone got from the bottom of the sea. Consequentely, the shark opened its jaws and realeased its prey swimming away. A friend of the victim, staying on the small boat on surface, gave his help. The victim survived, reporting wounds on his leg.
