A diver has died after being attacked by a shark in front of his daughter, off the Tasmanian coast in Australia.<\/p>\n

The pair were collecting scallops near the town of Triabunna on Saturday morning when the attack happened.<\/p>\n

The woman returned to their boat with the shellfish, but became concerned after her father, who was in his late 40s, did not resurface.<\/p>\n

She jumped back into the water to check on him and saw him being mauled by “a very large shark”, according to police.<\/p>\n

“She immediately returned to the surface where she raised the alarm through setting off a flare and by making an emergency phone call,” said Tasmania Police Inspector David Wiss.<\/p>\n

Earlier sighting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sailors in the area rushed to the scene and hauled the man from the sea using the air line he was attached too.<\/p>\n

But his injuries were too severe and he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

A 4.5m (15ft) great white shark was spotted in the area on Friday, ABC reports.<\/p>\n

Diver Danny Smith said he briefly came face to face with the creature before swimming away.<\/p>\n

“It had no intention of biting me, I believe, it just sort of cruised past to see what I was,” he added.<\/p>\n

The last fatal attack off the Australian coast occurred in February, when a Japanese man was killed at Shelly Beach near Ballina.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an Australian surfer who escaped a shark attack in South Africa live on television has returned to the water.<\/p>\n

Mick Fanning, 34, posted a picture of himself early on Saturday near his Tweed Heads home in northern New South Wales saying: “First surf back. Feels so good.”<\/p>\n
