When Instagram model Katarine Zarutskie waded in the crystal blue of Staniel Cay in the Bahamas to join the sharks, one clamped it jaws onto her arm and pulled her underwater.
“All of a sudden it felt like 15 people were squeezing on my wrist really, really, really hard,” Zarutskie said. “Next thing I knew I was underwater and I felt this, and the adrenaline just kicked in.”
“It seemed safe and I’d seen all these photos so I thought it was okay,” she said.
The owner of the marina said that nurse sharks were typically docile but the sharks could have been feeding and might have mistaken Zarutskie’s fingers for food.
Zarutskie emerged from the incident shaken but relatively unscathed.
