Stuart Cove, owner of the company organizing the shark tank expedition, expressed deep sadness about the incident and assured that a dive instructor and guide immediately provided medical attention. The boy was later airlifted to the United States for continued care. This rare incident has prompted an internal investigation by the company, Blue Adventures, which paused the Atlantis resort's in-water experience. The US State Department is aware of the situation and ready to provide consular assistance, emphasizing concern for any harmed US citizen overseas. This follows a recent fatal shark attack near a Bahamas beach resort, underscoring the uncommon nature of such incidents.
