Shark bites photographer off Little Cayman

A diver was bitten by a shark off Little Cayman on Friday evening, 6 Feb. The bite was described as ‘exploratory’ and resulted in relatively minor puncture wounds, however because there are no full-time doctors based on Little Cayman, the individual was flown to Grand Cayman for treatment.

“The incident occurred while researchers were in the water documenting the annual aggregation of Nassau groupers, which gather off the western tip of Little Cayman after the full moon in February to spawn,” said Peter Hillenbrand, a resident of Little Cayman.
