The 23-year-old man was attacked off the coast of Mexico on Monday. Officials have reported that the man had a chunk taken out of his forearm. The man was able to swim back to his charter boat in the Pacific near San Carlos and call for help.
The man’s name and hometown have not been publicly released.
However, the Mexican Navy have confirmed that the attack took place near Baja California Sur off northwestern Mexico.
Th Navy sent a boat to retrieve the man and took him to a local hospital for treatment.
His injury was not considered to be life-threatening.
Officials have not confirmed the species of shark involved in the attack.
Shark attacks in Mexico are relatively uncommon.
But there have been at least 39 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks in Mexico since 1907, according to the Florida Museum’s International Shark File.
The southern state of Guerrero ranked first on the list of locations for shark attacks with 11 confirmed reports.

Mr Angeloz drowned off the coast of Reunion Island where Mr Turner was swimming previously.
The speculation is now that Mr Turner was already dead by the time he was eaten by the shark on his holiday.
Mr Turner, a-44 year-old Scottish land registry worker, was snorkelling with his wife at the time in the Indian ocean.
His severed hand was found inside a tiger shark caught off the paradise isle.
The hand was still wearing a wedding ring.
A source said: “Two fit men, both excellent swimmers, have died there in a week.”
Another added: “Mr Angeloz’s tragic death supports the belief that the lagoon is not as safe as the authorities say it is.”
“It looks like Mr Turner drowned then his body was swept out to sea, where the shark ate it.”
An unprovoked shark attack is defined as when an attack on a human occurs in the shark’s natural habitat, according to the Florida Museum.
