Description:
A tiger shark injured a Japanese tourist who was diving near Gun Beach in Tumon.

Hideki Noma, an instructor with Gently Blue Diving Company, said he took a group of four Japanese tourists diving at Gun Beach last week.

The group was at an estimated 32 feet below the surface when a turtle quickly ascended and swam so close through the group that it was within arm's reach, Noma said through a translator.

The turtle was swimming fast because it was being chased by a 13-foot tiger shark that had its mouth open, he said.

The shark's teeth scraped one of the tourists on the leg as it passed by, Noma said. The tourist, in a panic, also scraped his leg on coral. The group quickly returned to land and the tourist was taken to the PMC Isla Health System clinic and received about 10 stitches.
