Diver dies in Fiji, Shark is blamed

Post by Pez7378 »

I know CDNN Isn't exactly a "reliable" or even a trusted source, but this is also confirmed by the Fiji Times, here are the links:

Oops, seems I accidentally erased the link to CDNN. I knew there was a reason we didn't like them.......(Blushing)

Anyone reckon there will be a "Shark Hunt" in Fiji?

Thanks for posting, Chris- but I just want everyone to know that CDNN is a TERRIBLE site that steals other peoples photographs, and other unscrupulous type stuff, and that they are almost universally hated among the diving community; AND everytime you post a link to their site, or go there, you are increasing their revenue and giving them money, essentially. I won't click on one of their links, ever. And I'll ask everyone who reads this not to, as well.

I'm not familiar with CDNN, but I can't help wondering why the other divers didn't notice he was missing for 4 hours?????

I'm with Nailer - CDNN sucks and have history of stealing material claiming as their own.
