Paramedics tried in vain to save the life of the man, who succumbed to his injuries this Saturday evening (local time), the AAP news agency reported.

The incident occurred off Humpy Island in the Keppel Bay Islands National Park, around 18 kilometers off the coast of Queensland.

It was not known what species of shark was involved.

As AAP further reported, citing a specialized database, there have been at least four more shark attacks in Australian waters so far this year. Two women have been seriously injured.
