The first fatal shark attack of the year has been recorded in Mexico after a man diving for mollusks was reportedly killed in a gruesome attack by a great white shark that resulted in the diver being decapitated.

Manuel Lopez was diving for mollusks in Mexico’s Tobari Bay in the Gulf of California when he encountered a 19-foot great white shark at a depth of about 50 feet around 11:30 a.m. on January 5th, the website TrackingSharks.com reported.

Two other fishermen who were with him at the time of the attack said that Lopez was decapitated.

"He was diving when the animal attacked him, impressively ripping off his head and biting both shoulders," Jose Bernal, a man speaking for the fisherman, said about the attack.

You hate to let stuff like this get to your head, but I will be thinking about it on our annual trip to Gulf Shores.

It’s always fatal when you lose your head whilst diving.

One thing I am fairly certain of in this world is that I'm almost 100% guaranteed not to be decapitated by a great white shark whilst I'm sitting on my porch drinking a beer.

A similar incident happened several years ago near Mendocino CA. A great white bit the head off an abalone diver. Great whites don't like to eat people, but if you are making movements in the water that resemble their favorite snacks, like seals and sea lions, they will take a bite and spit you out when they realize their mistake. Too late.

Well, he doesn’t have to worry about equalizing his ears at least

I’m of the opinion that you might know what’s going on for a few minutes after your head is lobbed off
