But that didn’t stop Sapp.

A friend who was with Sapp when it happened posted on Instagram, “The toughest guy i no (sic) man put electric tape on and still went back out diving.”

A concerned fan asked how he was doing after the shark bite.

“I’m good thanks! He was solo Usually takes two for Me,” Sapp replied.

He later posted a photo of his “nurse” taking care of him as he lounged on a couch.
