    A diver has died after a shark attack in the Chatham Islands

    A diver has died after a shark attack in the Chatham Islands


    Police say they were called to reports the man had been injured while diving off a boat.

    He died in hospital.

    About 66 types of sharks are found in New Zealand waters, while the Chatham Islands are known as the summer home of the great white shark.

    It's believed today's fatal attack is the first since a teenager died on Waihi Beach in 2021.
