Witness stated they saw a shark in the water, however beach patrol’s incident did not mention a shark. Operations manager for cq Shore Beach Service, Mike Wagner stated
“That would usually be in the report,” he said. “But if something bit somebody underwater, the odds of anyone seeing what it was aren’t very good.”
Wagner will follow up with the International Shark Attack File maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History
He added: “While some sharks and toothed fish can be found in Hilton Head’s waters, they are relatively small and difficult to see….You wouldn’t have to be in very deep water not to see something.”
