WA: Search resumes today for missing snorkeller

The search resumes today in Western Australia for a man feared taken by shark yesterday morning.

Parts of a wetsuit worn by 51-year-old Brian Guest have been found near the scene of the attack.

He's feared to have been taken by a shark at Cote D'Azure Gardens .. about eight kilometres
south of Rockingham .. while snorkelling with his 24-year-old son early yesterday.

One of the search coordinators .. Sergeant MICHAEL WEAR .. says there've been two reports
of a big shark being seen .. but it's unclear whether it was the same shark that attacked
Mr GUEST.

The search was scaled back to about five boats late last night .. and later called
off .. but will be resumed at about 7am (WST) today.
