Family honors Simon Nellist, British dive instructor killed in Sydney's first shark attack in 60 years

Simon Nellist, 35, was fatally mauled by a shark while training for a charity swim, marking Sydney's first fatal shark attack in 60 years.

On a Wednesday afternoon in Sydney's Little Bay, Simon Nellist — a 35-year-old British dive instructor, RAF veteran, and devoted fiancé — lost his life to a shark while training for a charity swim, becoming the first person killed by such an attack in the city in sixty years. He was a man who had crossed oceans, served in war, and built a life around connecting with others and with the natural world. That the sea, which he loved most, became the site of his death is one of those cruel ironies that remind us how little control we hold over the forces we choose to live closest to.
