I was just reading up on shark attacks around the islands yesterday. Was not expecting to see this news less than 24 hours later. Very saddened to hear of Tamayo’s passing. Condolences to his family and many, many loved ones.

Tomayo was one of the most likeable people I ever met. And to think about all the lives he saved as a life guard, man, what a huge contribution he made to humanity. He will be deeply missed.. R.I.P. brother.

RARE would mean no attacks since 1980 or something. Thanks for the current rundown of shark attacks, NOT RARE. UGH.
