That's a real bummer. We just saw it on the news. He will be missed.
Prayers to his family.

The Queensland Auzzie/Indian ocean stingrays have barbs like Spearguns spears with 360 degree eyesite.
I can imagine getting impaled by one is easy if
Ya fux with them and they use it. And he fux with the animals on his show.
Bound to happen.
Eye opener to how serious safety in diving can be.
A defensive fish can be as dangerous as an offensive fish.
He was swimming over it and it poked him like it's programmed to do.
Under his ribcage through his heart and a deluxe blast of venom to top it all off.
His website has shut down.
