If you don't mind me asking, what was Brian doing when he was attacked by the shark?

According to the reports that I saw, he was diving for crab.

Thats right Doug,,i have not read the link but its a popular past time to snorkel for crabs (blue swimmer crabs or blue mannas as they are known locally) some folks wade the shallows with a scoop net as well and get them that way,,,i imagine he might have had a welding glove on and a catch bag for his crabs,,,,,,,,,i guess the flippers he was wearing makes him look like a seal or something perhaps,,,

Not sure if i mentioned it but he saw one in the same area 1 year ago from the beach,,he loved the experience it was said,,,,,,,,,

Have wondered if its the one that got him,,,no sign of his body yet only a small piece of wetsuit .
