Sharks have been around much longer than we have.
So that some how means its not a natural place for us to be
What exactly are you trying to prove? That somehow we shouldn't be in the water?
I think the guy was pretty stupid to be diving on his own, having done a bit myself I know full well that one of they key things drilled into you is that you shouldn't be unaccompanied, it's not a solo pastime.
That aside.
I can understand why you would want to hunt the shark down because there is a chance it will return and attack another human. I can see people's annoyance with this, but they are professionals and won't be killing every shark in sight.
To put things in perspective, this is one shark, being killed for legitimate reasons. However there are thousands killed every year for shark fin soup.

The Sea is not our Natural Territory or Hunting Ground, we Humans have adapted through ingenuity and intelligence to be able to utilise the Oceans as a resource. It is not a natural place for us to be. We evolved away from it Millions of Years ago to become Land Based, Air Breathing entities.
Sharks are Apex predators, there are other Apex predators on this Planet too, Man has once again adapted and learned to live with these Apex predators by using intelligence, if we lack intelligence (Be it from lack of protection, placing ourselves in close proximity etc.) around these Apex predators we will suffer consequences.

I'm trying to prove that the Sea is much more natural enviroment for a fish, and that they have more right to be there than us.
You will try and say we are the dominant species of the planet, but I don't hold that view.
Rubbish, you don't need ignenuity to hunt at sea. It isn't some new past time. Live exists round seas and rivers for a reason.
So birds natural teritorys aren't the sea either as they don't have gills and live on land, but hunt at sea.
Yes but by this logic sharks have been swimming there millions of years more then we have.

No it's not natural for humans to be in water. If you throw a new born fish into a tank it will be able to swim around. If you throw a new born human into a tank it will drown. That is nature.
Therefore water is not a natural place for us to be. But we can learn to adapt by learning how to swim in later life.
baby's swim with no practice.
Of course it's natural, or again are up you saying its not certain birds natural hunting ground as they would drown as well.
OK. Next time you have offspring, throw him in at the deep end and see what happens.
Until then....
Natural place to live, natural territory is something much larger.
Again there are land birds, which live and breed on land, but hunt at sea, they don't live at sea. Is the sea therefore not part of their natural habitat? Why won't anyone respond to this?
Swimming reflex, holds breath and kicks legs and arms.
What is a crocodiles natural habitat? Water, land? It can't breath under water. But water is certainly part of its natural territory.
And?
Care to respond about birds, crocodiles or another thousand types of animals.
In fact seeing as you lot say natural terittory needs no ingenuity. Then what is our natural habitat?
We have little to no protection from natural elements. That rules out anywhere which gets remotely cold, as that requires animal fir clothes.

Depends if the bird is adapted to the environment
a Heron has long legs to wade and a bill designed for this job.Other birds that dive into the ocean to catch small fish that don't have natural waterproofing on the feathers must ensure they flap like buggery to break free from the water surface or risk drowning.
You don't find more normal birds such as Robins/Blackbirds/Blue-**** hunting in the water, evolution has designed certain families of the species to do the job required.

What?
You said a new born baby could naturally swim.
I said it's not swimming, it just a survival reflex.
"And?"?
