Shark kills tourist during interactive shark feeding dive in Bahamas

BAHAMAS (24 Feb 2008) — A European attorney on holiday in the Bahamas died after he was attacked by a shark that was manipulated with fish bait to perform for thrill-seeking scuba diving tourists.

Markus Groh, 49, of Vienna, Austria, was diving off the 70-ft M/V Shear Water dive boat when a shark suddenly attacked him.

The Shear Water dive boat is owned and operated by notorious shark feeder Jim Abernethy of "Jim Abernethy Scuba Adventures", a Florida-based company that was forced to move its shark feeding dives offshore after Florida banned so-called "interactive" diving in January, 2002.

There are several articles on the site, about this accident.   One of them, mentions that the divers are out in open deep water, so they were at greater risk, than when diving in a protected area in shallower water.
