She maintained that he didn’t enter with any bait or fish, saying Tzach had planned to take pictures of the local sharks.
The aquatic predator had been spotted swimming dangerously near to kids paddling in the shallows just before it began its vicious attack on the father.
Sarit told local reporters, “He went into the water to dive and photograph sharks, not to feed them or play with them.”
“I spoke with a fisherman who saw the event, and he informed me that he swam with the shark at first, then a bit farther out.
“He photographed the sharks from a distance, but did not touch them or feed them.”
