Fears snorkeller missing off SA coast taken by shark

A damaged wetsuit has led police to believe a Victorian man who went missing while snorkelling in the waters off Port MacDonnell in South Australia was taken by a shark.

Police were alerted after the 32-year-old man from regional Victoria went missing in waters off Surfers Way in the lower south-east just before 5pm on Thursday.
