Yes. 3-4 days ago a teenager spear fishing by himself got bit on the hip where the fish was attached to him and he died.

I don't believe this was recently........................Yes, there have been reports of fatal shark attacks involving tourists, including an American teenager from Maryland in late 2023 near Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Mexico, who died from injuries sustained while spear fishing, highlighting the risk of shark encounters, especially with Bull Sharks, in the area, despite previous years of relative calm.

Thank you. I was hoping it wasn’t true.
