Andrew Eddy, 30, was on a snorkeling trip with his pregnant wife, Margot Dukes-Eddy and her family at Sombrero Reef in the Florida Keys. But as Eddy had just slid into the water, a large shark latched onto his shoulder.

30歲的安德魯．艾迪與懷孕的妻子瑪戈．杜克斯—艾迪及她的家人，在（美國）佛羅里達州礁島布雷羅礁享受一場浮潛之旅。但艾迪一入海，一隻大鯊魚就咬住他的肩膀。

"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.
