AN experienced diver killed by two sharks off the South Australian coast was a conservationist who would not want great whites hunted down and killed, a friend says.
Peter Clarkson, 49, was attacked as he surfaced after diving for abalone at Perforated Island near Coffin Bay in South Australia on Thursday, 17 February.
The boat skipper who witnessed the attack, believed to be by great whites, was treated for shock after failing to find Mr Clarkson and returning to shore.
Mr Clarkson had a house at Esperance in Western Australia's south and spent part of his year diving for shells around the WA coast.

Let no one doubt... hungry sharks would trail behind a pod of seaquake-injured whales like wolves trailing a herd of elk. Every time a whale lagged behind, the sharks would move in and start feeding. White sharks would be driven mad by the blood and the stomach acid in the water after a feeding frenzy. If several sharks did not get a chance to feed, they would roam the area looking for any meal. A loan abalone diver would be too tempting to resist and a violent shark attack would ensue.
The SEAQUAKE HYPOTHESIS suggest a very sensible way to prevent shark attacks and save human lives.
The most dangerous time to be in the water is when seaquake-injured whales might also be in the same area. We have done a preliminary study and found that indeed most shark attacks occur when the odds are greatly increased that injury whales might be swimming nearby.
This particular shark attack is no different.
The following earthquake might have injured a pod of pilot whales which in turn swam with the flow of the surface currents into the waters off Coffin Bay.
Here's the data on the earthquake:
Here's the data on the earthquake:
4.6 Mb - WESTERN INDIAN-ANTARCTIC RIDGE
Preliminary Earthquake Report Magnitude 4.6 Mb
Date-Time: 5 Feb 2011 06:37:54 local time near epicenter
Location: 48.776S 126.535E Depth 10 km
Distances: 1729 km (1075 miles) WSW (241 degrees) of Hobart, Australia
2377 km (1477 miles) SW (224 degrees) of CANBERRA, Australia
Location Uncertainty Horizontal: 34.6 km; Vertical 0.0 km
Parameters: Nph = 25; Dmin = 999.9 km; Rmss = 0.66 seconds; Gp = 115°
M-type = Mb; Version = 3 USGS Event ID "US b000190s"
Oceanic surface currents favor such a scenario. The seaquake-injured pod would have been carried north from the epicenter to the waters off Coffin Bay. From Coffin Bay on Thursday, the injured pod move west with the flow toward Perth. If they survive the pack of great whites that are surely dogging them, they might strand somewhere near 35S X 115E about 200 miles due south of Perth by the end of February. The chance for a beaching is about 30% in favor with 70% going to the sharks.
The point is that many shark attacks can be prevented in Australian waters.
