Two more deadly shark attacks

Although fatal shark attacks are not common in the Bahamas, at least two others have been reported recently. On November 21, a 47-year-old German woman disappeared during a diving excursion in the waters of West End, Grand Bahama, after encountering a shark, police said.

In September 2022, a 58-year-old American woman was killed by a shark while diving with her family in the waters of New Providence. _AF
