Wonder what lead up to the interaction. Bulls are mean and territorial.

Unfortunately that's what happens when you act like a top water lure (snorkeling).

Condolences

Condolences

It's also what happens when they associate people with food and the Bahamas is an area where a lot of feeding of sharks occurs.

So sorry to read this. Condolences to her family and friends. Such a heartbreaking, tragic event.

That spot is a well known shark feed location for a couple of ops for tourists. Remember, bulls are territorial and many times food is secondary. That's his spot, and everything else is in his territory. The divers are viewed as competition by the shark. We see it all the time when the "switch gets flipped on", it's time to leave.

I question the wisdom of taking snorkelers to a site that is known for frequent shark feeding.
