"THEY FEED THEM FOR INTERACTION WITH TOURISTS"

The incident occurred during a shark dive attended by tourists. Dalazen, 37, recorded second by second the moments she came face to face with death underwater.

According to information reported by the BBC, Dalazen stated that during the dive, she noticed the sharks were behaving very differently than normal and swimming close to the surface.

Emphasizing that there were many sharks in the area, the influencer said she later learned that tour organizers feed the animals to force them into contact with tourists.

IT BIT HER THIGH AREA AND PULLED HER UNDERWATER

Tayane Dalazen, who said she suddenly felt a great pressure on her leg during the dive, stated that she tried to stay calm while describing the horrific moments.

The shark, estimated to be over 2 meters long, grabbed the young woman directly from her thigh area. The shark held the unfortunate influencer underwater for a few seconds, then released her. 

Dalazen, who managed to get out of the water on her own, suffered deep cuts in her thigh area.
