I rifled through several of the main US news sites - and found this article on CNN.com:
OLOWALU, Hawaii (AP) -- A Maui beach reopened Wednesday, one day after a California man reported being bitten by a shark about 100 yards offshore.
Thomas Holmes, 35, of Los Angeles, said he needed about 35 stitches for cuts he suffered on his buttocks and thigh after the shark bit him once.
Holmes said he and his girlfriend were snorkeling in 40 to 50 feet of water off Olowalu Beach when they saw what appeared to be a 6-foot tiger shark and began swimming toward shore.
"I pulled my head out of the water and looked back," Holmes said Wednesday. "He was four feet away and his mouth was open."
Police closed a more than one-mile stretch of shoreline after the inciden
