Earlier this month 16 year old Stella Berry was bitten and killed by a shark in Perth's Swan River. It's the first shark fatality for Australia in 2023, and the first in The Swan River in a century. 

We all know there are sharks in ocean. We all know that they are dangerous predators.  But do you know what to do when confronted with one? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who was bitten by a shark not far from the same spot that Stella Berry was killed. We also hear from a shark safety diver who works with sharks every day, about what not to do if you come face to face with one of the oceans deadliest hunters.
