Local police said that the incident happened at around 11am when the victim went out fishing with friends.

As soon as they realised he had been attacked, his companions took him ashore in the boat but the diver had already lost his life.

The police statement said: 'As soon as he went into the water, not even a minute passed before he was attacked and then seen floating on the surface.

'When they (colleagues) brought him on board the boat, they realised that he was missing a leg and part of his belly and rushed him to Puerto Penasco.

'Specialists arrived as well as the funeral company Santa Cecilia. The Ministerial Agency for Criminal Investigations has secured the boat, the Lidia Isabel.'

Following a preliminary investigation, official sources said: 'Witnesses said that the man was diving in an area called Hawey, 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) south-east of San Jorge Island, when the shark attacked him, biting off his left leg from the hip.'
