A groom has filmed the terrifying moment his wife was bitten by a shark while they were on honeymoon.
Sarah Illig was swimming in the clear waters of the Caribbean when a nurse shark lurched towards her.
Footage captured by her husband, Evan Carroll, shows the shark suddenly biting into her arm. She quickly recoils and swims as fast as she can away from the predator.
“Less than a second later I realised how much it hurt and looked past where my goggles were blocking my side vision to see the shark (bigger than myself) latched on to my arm.”
Concerned friends asked if she was ok, with one asking if she had lost any skin in the attack.
She replied, “yes! If we were home we would have gotten some stitches but it worked out not getting them!”
“Only had a bunch of flesh wounds along my arm. We were worried about staph or another infection but it’s healing great!”
She added, “Scared the heckkkkk out of me! Evan had the GoPro under water filming and couldn’t even tell it happened since he was above water!”
