Interesting.

The only thing I found in searching about any diver losing their head to a GW while ab diving, was a diver down in Australia back in 2007, getting bit by a GW about the torso. His vest apparently saved him, as well as poking the GW in the eye to release him. It was estimated that it was a juvenile GW, around 10 foot long.

Do you have a link for the incident you mentioned. I'd really like to see it.
