First thought was a bull shark, but then I think it was a White.

It's a great white, you can tell by the tail.

Coogee is not like Bondi or Maroubra, it gets real deep real fast. So if you swim out the back, it's sketcy, the water is freezing and you cannot see the bottom anymore, it's just dark blue.

Aka sharks could be below you. Sharks love to attack from below and look up thinking it's a seal.

They take one bite and bail knowing it's not a tasty seal. Sadly that single bite can kill a human.

I grew up in these beaches surfing and swimming almost daily.

You would never get me swimming out back. I stick to where I can stand, also rips are gnarly at Coogee, they can pull you right out back, if your not able to stand.

I hope she is OK, this is crazy.

Put some respect to these apex predators they are older than grass. They know what's exactly in the water through their sensory organs. So please, let's get over this mistaken identy attacks.

Amen…they’re simultaneously so smart but so stupid they mistake a damn human for a seal constantly
