"Dukes saw the shark’s dorsal fin and then blood filling the water. Dukes, without hesitation, dove into the water and pulled Eddy to the safety of the boat," the police wrote in his report.

警方在報告中指出：「杜克斯先看到鯊魚背鰭，接著血水染紅大海。她毫不遲疑地跳入水中，把艾迪拉到安全的船上。」

Dukes managed to avoid injury during the rescue, but the police described Eddy’s shark bite wound as severe.

杜克斯在救夫時成功避免受傷，但警方形容艾迪被鯊魚咬傷的傷口很嚴重。

Several other snorkelers from other boats were already in the water when the attack happened, the police wrote. Other boaters said they had seen a bull shark in the area that morning, which they estimated to be as much as 2.7 meters long.（AP）
