Ramsey, as reported by NDTV, stated that she saw the tiger shark approaching very closely and with enough speed that it appeared as though the shark was going to take her fin tips.
“There (were) a bunch of little schooling fish under, so I could see her speed, and I knew that I needed to back off at that moment. That was when I realized I needed to get back on the boat.” Ramsay remarked.
