MAUI, Hawaii – A diver has suffered severe cuts to his right ankle after being bitten by a tiger shark off Maui.
A Maui County Fire Department spokesman said the 30-year-old Kahului man and his partner were participating in a diving tournament Sunday when he felt something tug on his leg.
Lee Mainaga said the shark, believed to be about 15-foot tiger shark, circled back after biting the man. The man bled profusely and his diving partner used their tag-line to create a tourniquet and pull him to shore.
