Trailing bloody water over the gunwale as he slid into the boat, trying to keep his shredded arm elevated, spearfisher Mario Avila didn’t know he had been rescued by the perfect passengers.

His rescuers appeared momentarily unsure what to do as he lay on the deck talking to them in Spanish as he held up his left hand, covered in blood from a shark bite, at one point asking “hablas español?”
