13 ft White shark kills diver in shark Attack

Victor Estrella, 56, was diving Feb. 12 for scallops around 10 miles off Yavaros Hutabampo, Sonora, Mexico. He was using a surface-supplied air system that pumps air through hoses to the diver below.

Around 10 a.m. the dive tender noticed Estrella’s hoses were moving erratically.

The tender quickly began pulling on the hoses to bring Estrella to the surface and saw the shark. As he was pulling Estrella to the surface, the shark hit Estrella again and forced the dive tender to fight the estimated 13-foot (4m) white shark for the diver.

Once Estrella was onboard, the crew headed back to shore. Based on photos reported to be of Estrella, the shark took his right leg. He would have succumbed quickly to the loss of blood.

Initial reports indicated the shark attack occurred in the bay of Yavaros which is relatively shallow. However, multiple sources indicate the incident took place approximately 10 to 10 1/2 miles away from the port.
