MONTREAL — The Canadian Coast Guard says a diver was taken to hospital after being bitten by a shark off Percé, Que., on the eastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula.
The Coast Guard says it was alerted to the incident at about 10:27 a.m. and paramedics met the vessel when it arrived in Percé.
Local diving centre Plongée Percé says the person received first aid before being transported to hospital for further evaluation.
The company says all of its diving activities have been suspended for the rest of the season as a precaution.
