A Florida man is recovering after being bitten by not one - but two sharks - after falling into the water in the Bahamas
By- after falling into the water in the Bahamas. Now, he's sharing his terrifying story of survival.
The 24-year-old was on a fishing trip in the southern Bahamas late last month when he fell into the water.Wakeman says the waters in Clarencetown's Flying Fish Marina are infested with dozens of sharks, and is known as a popular spot to clean fish and throw scraps."These sharks have learned that there is regular amounts of food being tossed into the ocean here from these fishermen," said Ron Magill, director of communications & wildlife expert at Zoo Miami.
Wakeman was stitched up in the Bahamas and flew back home to Florida the next day. Doctors believe the shark was at least seven feet long and his wound is over a foot long. It just missed his artery."The fact that there's 20 sharks in there and you were able to get out of there and still have a leg is amazing," said Dr. Robert Borrego, a trauma surgeon at St. Mary's Medical Center.
