# A VISIT to The Bahamas became a nightmare on Tuesday for a tourist who was bitten by a shark at Highbourne Cay in the Exumas, leaving him seriously injured and hospitalised in an incident ...

Layman and Rileigh Decker, both in their 20s, had jumped into the ocean off their friend's yacht when the attack took place.

The 55-year-old tourist attempted to 'engage with the animal from the shallows in an attempt to take photographs,' according to Turks and Caicos authorities.
