A New York financier has been killed in a shark attack while scuba diving off the coast of Costa Rica, the country's Environment Ministry announced.

Rohina Bhandari, 49, a senior director at WL Ross & Co. LL, was identified by friends as the American tourist who was fatally attacked last Thursday.

She was dragged from the Pacific Ocean after sustaining severe bites to her legs but could not be saved. Her 26-year-old diving instructor was also badly injured.

Going swimming or scuba diving in the ocean is jumping right into the food chain. I don’t do it anymore but loved it for many years. Old family friends living at the coast who own a large ocean-going fishing boat always told us we wouldn’t be in there if we knew what was swimming around our feet. After having what felt like a few close calls, I finally understood what they meant. I don’t go past knee deep anymore.

Wow. Post #2. I didn't even have a chance to be first.

What kind of diving instructor would go into shark-infested waters?

[Reno89519]

She was Indian, not American. And on the positive side, an American can replace her in that job in NYC.

Sharking is a viscious bidness....

Are you as ignorant a person as your posts indicate, or are you trolling this site?

[Reno89519]

What is your problem?

A river enters the Atlantic at New Smyrna. Lots of bait fish and therefore, lots of sharks. A few years back, I was watching a bunch of people swimming at the beach (New Smyrna), happy as can be. A 10-12 year boy reeled in a 3 ft. shark.

Have no clue what you are talking about. I don't think I am missing much.

The victim was Indian-—————silly joke resulted.

Sadly she was a Trump supporter - gave $5,000 to the “Make America Great Again” PAC. Probably tied to her death, in some way.

Yeah, but just make sure that you are not in the water when it goes off. Worse yet if you are underwater and nearby when it blows!

[crosdaddy]

If the shark had a frig’n lazer, I think I know who is responsible.

[Chgogal]

Oh! Slap hand on forehead.

Now I get it!

Like curry, like Indians (all kinds, Indian Indians and Native American Indians except for Fauxcohantas) and I like sharks.

I am an educated, world-traveled, veteran SCUBA diver with maybe a thousand dives under my belt... And I frankly do not understand most of the posts on this thread. Curry? When did FR become a forum for this sort of sad stuff?

I am a former professional SCUBA instructor and cannot understand this:

The group regularly organises tours to the national park reportedly known for its abundance of sharks.

I used to try to avoid sharks.
