Shark and crocodile bites can result in massive tissue damage and severe blood loss. You want to safely bring the victim to shore as soon as possible to apply first aid as per your training and arrange for advanced emergency care. You should continue to manage risks and work effectively as a member of your patrol team at every stage of a shark or crocodile response plan.
Refer to your local SOPs for more information about actions to take in the event of a shark or crocodile sighting, encounter or bite.
