One was maybe four inches, one was about six inches. They were pretty deep with muscle exposed. They were pretty good sized gashes."

"After about eight minutes the paramedics arrived, and they took over. There was a lot of blood on his arm, neck and wetsuit, but by the time his wetsuit was cut away the bleeding had been controlled. The wounds weren't actively bleeding."
