In the local diving scene, a “Poo Diver” is someone who SCUBA dives immediately after a storm, before the runoff has had a chance to dissipate.

Vice has published an article profiling an Australian Technical Diver, who literally dives in raw sewage.

Photo is from the Vice article.

The diver is Brendan Walsh who does mechanical repairs under pools of raw sewage, with absolutely no visibility, guided only by pre-shit photos and instructions over an intercom.

After reading this, maybe we can all better appreciate our sometimes “crappy conditions?”

Apparently, a Great White shark was hooked by an angler off the Manhattan Beach Pier, wiggled free and was so pissed, the shark bit a nearby swimmer as payback.

Here’s some local coverage:

July 5, 2014

MANHATTAN BEACH (CBSLA.com) — A male swimmer was attacked by a Great White Shark Saturday off Manhattan Beach.

After being initially reported in critical condition, Steven Robles, 50, is now in stable condition at UCLA Harbor Medical Center, authorities said.

While lifeguards estimated the shark to be 7-feet long, LA County Sheriff’s flying overhead in Sheriff’s Helicopter 8 said they believed the creature was 10-feet long.

Robles was bitten just before 9:30 a.m. near the Manhattan Beach Pier, authorities said.

A video was captured, in which a man can seemingly be heard yelling at swimmers to get out of the water, following the attack. In the video, the man can be heard shouting, “It already bit someone!”

Lifeguards treated Robles for lacerations and puncture wounds on the beach.

The attack was caught on camera. Notice how everything was funny until they realized someone got bitten:
