<\/p>\nA DIVER that was brutally bitten on the head by a shark had to have teeth removed from her skull after suffering horror facial injuries.<\/p>\n
Bridgette O'Shannessy, 32, was attacked by a great white shark while swimming with her partner\u00a0in Australia.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She was left with missing teeth and serious nerve damage from the mauling at Port Noarlunga, Adelaide, on Friday, November 10.<\/p>\n
O'Shannessy was rushed to Flinders Medical Centre to have two surgeries to remove the teeth from her skull.<\/p>\n
The woman was reportedly fighting for her life after the bite on the head caused "extremely serious head injuries", and left a trail of blood on the beach.<\/p>\n
Despite the horrific injuries, O'Shannessy is now in a stable condition and should make a full recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The attack happened after a day of free diving with her partner Brian Gordon Roberts.<\/p>\n According to Seven News, Roberts pushed the shark away to stop it from getting any worse.<\/p>\n Her concerned partner wrote on social media: "Unfortunately Bridgette was hit by a white pointer at Port Noarlunga reef yesterday.<\/p>\n "She\u2019s out of theatre now in ICU and in a stable condition.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "She\u2019s doing really well considering the circumstances and thanks for all the well wishes, I\u2019ve been passing them on to her."<\/p>\n She's an experienced diver and environmental consultant at Flinders University near to the spot of the nightmare scene.<\/p>\n Dramatic footage shows beachgoers and paramedics scrambling on the beach after the vicious mauling.<\/p>\n Bystanders can be seen holding up plastic sheets as they help protect the woman's privacy as she laid stricken in pain.<\/p>\n The video goes on to show people looking on in shock just after the attack.<\/p>\n The South Australian Ambulance service were first on the scene after getting horror reports of a\u00a0shark\u00a0biting a woman\u2019s face.<\/p>\n Other images show people frantically leaving the water and walking alongside the woman who was put on an emergency lifeboat and taken away from the busy beach.<\/p>\n Emergency services rushed to the\u00a0beach after the terrifying event and found the woman conscious and breathing but with severe facial injuries.<\/p>\n A lady who witnessed the horror spoke to\u00a0The Advertiser\u00a0about what happened.<\/p>\n After hearing screams, the woman saw a gruesome amount of blood along the beach.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cI looked up to see this women basically wrapped in tarp\u2026 there was blood on the side of her head.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen they brought her up to the ambulance, you could see there was a lot of blood. No one knew it was a shark attack.\u201d<\/p>\n In a statement,\u00a0police\u00a0say the dangerous beast wasn't found even after the beach was evacuated and helicopters were flown out to search for the predator.<\/p>\n It read: \u201cPolice with the assistance of other emergency services evacuated the water while a search to locate the shark was undertaken.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMembers of the public have since returned to the water after the search failed to locate the shark.\u201d<\/p>\n It comes just two weeks after a 55-year-old South Australian surfer named\u00a0Tod Gendle was fatally killed\u00a0by a great white at a beach near Streaky Bay.<\/p>\n That was the second death in South Austarlia this year after Simon Baccanello, 46, a teacher was killed by a shark near Elliston.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/newspress-collage-24691404-1699601381347.jpg\")
