## Caption

"I look down and there's a shark, and it's big." 
 
It was the last hour of the last day of Peter Smith's holiday in Tobago when he decided to take a dip in the sea.
 
Then, he was bitten by a bull shark, one of the most dangerous sharks in the world. 

Peter was taken to the only hospital on Tobago with deep lacerations to his stomach, a large bite on one arm and a huge part of his upper thigh bitten off.
 
Experts have said attacks are still very rare relative to the higher rates of people using the water for leisure - and urge the public to remember the ocean is a wild space with risks.
