A sad loss to the world really.
He was a great guy who did loads for conservation and tried to educate people. My daughter and I like watching his Croc Hunter series on the TV.
What's more touching is that he leaves a young family and wife behind.
Thanks Steve and R.I.P.

guess it's the way he'd like to have gone.
wouldn't be the same if he'd been hit by a bus....
sadly missed here. Kids loved his progs, so did I, all for my sitting here and calling him a nutter...

Only two people in Australian history have ever been "attacked" by these Rays. He probably felt very safe swimming above it - as any snorkeler would.
Reports are saying that it wasn't the venom that would have killed him but simply the damage caused by the barbs on the Ray's tail to his heart.
I honestly believe he was a professional who knew what he was doing and this was the freakest of accidents. Sadly, accidents are what accidents are...
Like others have said, it pains me to think how his family are feeling right now. He was a real family man who will be really missed by them.

Just be a nutter... life becomes much more exciting, and people won't expect anything more of you...
