Poke in the eye saves shark victim
Jamie Pandaram
January 23, 2007
"A man who managed to fight off a three-metre shark by poking its eye
is being operated on in Wollongong Hospital after being mauled by a
white pointer shark.
Eric Nerhus, a 41-year-old professional diver is in a serious but
stable condition, and is expected to survive, after being half
swallowed by the three-metre shark at Cape Howe, near Eden, on the NSW
south coast, about 9.30am today.
The shark seized Mr Nerhus by the head, crushing his face mask inwards
and breaking his nose, said friend and fellow diver Dennis Luobikis.
"He was actually bitten by the head down, the shark swallowed his
head" Mr Luobikis said.
Taking a second bite, the white pointer clenched its jaws around his
torso, tearing deep lacerations in either side of his body.
Against the odds, Mr Nerhus, a well-known local diver of more than
five years' experience, managed to free himself from the shark's jaws,
and was pulled back aboard the boat by his son.
Two other young divers in a nearby boat rendered immediate first aid
and one radioed his father, who was flying overhead in a spotter
plane, to call for emergency help.
He was flown to Wollongong Hospital instead of the closer Canberra
Hospital because the Snowy Hydro Rescue Helicopter carrying the man
must fly low to ground.
"He was diving so we have to fly low to the ground, and there are
mountains on the way to Canberra" Snowy Hydro spokeswoman Debbie Lowry
said.
"When you dive you have got to a minimum of two hours adjusting ...
it's decompression. The oxygen in your lungs need time to readjust or
you get the bends."
She said the diver had told the helicopter crew that he had managed to
get free after the shark bit down on him, then poked the animal in
the eye.
The helicopter also had to stop and refuel in Merimbula because the
rescue crew had been on their way to another job before getting the
emergency call.
Mr Luobikis, 53, said it was a miracle his friend had lived to tell
the tale.
"Eric is a tough boy, he's super fit" he said. "But I would say that
would test anyone's resolve, being a fish lunch."
"He'd have a better chance of winning the lotto (than surviving that
attack), and I think he would have rather done that."
There had been a rash of white pointer sightings in recent weeks
thanks to unusually cold waters off Eden, but such an attack was
unheard of, Mr Luobikis said.
"I have been a professional diver in Eden for 36 years and I'm not
aware of any white pointer attacks in that time" he said.
Rough conditions had deterred many divers from venturing out this
morning, Mr Luobikis said."

If someone invited me to a "fish lunch", that wouldn't be what I had in

I thought that had something to do with the above. Nah. I gave up. The

Way back when I was single, I did the personal ad thing a couple of times.
One guy that I met was absolutely mortified because I didn't lie or
exaggerate as far as my looks went. He, on the other hand, had definitely
embellished quite a bit. Poor kid was so embarassed.

I was interested for a while, heard enough horror stories to dissuade me.

Mmm... maybe you *shouldn't* come to Australia after all.
We have an odd SOH.

D'oh! Should have guessed that.

Don't you read the peronal classifieds?


I thought that had something to do with the above. Nah. I gave up. The
product never seems to match the advertising.


Not in the Peronal (sic) ads.
They all start with "Don't cry for me, Argentina!"

Didn't see that. Time to get the old bifocals checked.


I missed it too.
Time to *get* bifocals!

Maybe I should get a pair of those new Fokker trifocals?


I can't stand the fokkers.


They cost too much so I told the optometrist to fokker off.

I used to program computers for an optometrist.
One day he fell into the lens grinding machine,
and made a spectacle of himself.
