What’s up with all of the shark attacks? The latest happened Sunday morning about 8:30 a.m. about 500 yards off shore of the Waiehau Golf Course. KITV reports:

The man and his dive partner were participating in the 2012 Roi Roundup dive tournament when he felt a tug at his leg, and saw what he believed to be a 15-foot tiger shark.

After the initial cuts to his right ankle, the shark circled back, but the diver kept him away with his spear gun. 

Just two weeks ago, a California woman fended off a shark by punching it. On Oct. 18, a a stand-up paddler was knocked off his board by a tiger shark.
