INJURED - 14 June 2005, Kaeui Island, Korea - diver attacked

A 38-year-old woman diver suffered a serious leg injury after being attacked by what experts believe to be a three-metre Great White shark while diving off Kaeui Island off the west coast of Taean County, South Korea.

The woman, identified only by her family name Lee, was rushed to a local hospital.

Lee who had been diving with 11 divers for ear shell in about 10 metres of water was quoted in the local press as saying: "I felt a hit in the knee, but I did not see it."
