While a new hotel opens on Amity Island, a 25 ft (8 m) great white shark kills two scuba divers photographing the wreckage of the Orca before heading into Amity waters. Their camera, which took pictures during the attack, is recovered the next day. The shark then kills a female water skier. The driver of the boat tries to kill the creature using a gas tank and flare gun, but the boat explodes, killing her and severely burning the right side of the shark's face.
