A resurfaced video shows Brazilian surfer Tayane Dalazen being bitten by a nurse shark while diving in Fernando de Noronha. She suffered minor injuries but recovered fully. Known to be docile, nurse sharks rarely attack humans, and Dalazen called it an isolated incident, later returning to dive again without fear.
Fernando de Noronha: A viral video showing Brazilian surfer and lawyer Tayane Cachoeira Dalazen being bitten by a nurse shark during a dive has resurfaced online, offering a clearer view of the rare incident that took place earlier this year.
The incident occurred in January off the coast of Fernando de Noronha, a popular diving destination known for its marine biodiversity. The newly released footage captures Dalazen diving headfirst into clear blue waters before a nurse shark approaches and briefly bites her leg.

Dalazen, 36, sustained minor injuries, including visible bite marks on her thigh, but did not suffer any life-threatening harm. The original video that went viral shortly after the incident was unclear, but the latest footage provides a sharper, front-facing perspective of the encounter, reigniting discussions around human interactions with marine life.
