FOUR separate shark sightings have been reported off the WA coast early today - with two divers spooked by a shark "with a massive head''.

The latest sighting was a 3.5 metre shark at Falcon, near Mandurah, which water police are investigating.

Two men reported seeing a shark “with a massive head” as they prepared to dive from a boat in seven metres of water about 500 metres off Port Denison, 360km north of Perth.

Earlier this morning there were reports of a two to three metre shark sighted off Cottesloe Beach but nothing was seen by crew on the Surf Lifesaving WA helicopter.

Before that, the chopper was called after a report of a three metre shark in Warnbro Sound approximately 50m offshore, about 1km south of Malibu Road in Safety Bay.

Two dolphins were seen, but no shark activity. Swimmers in Warnbro Sound and Cottesloe have been warned to be careful.

All shark sightings should be reported to Water Police on 9442 8600.
