Speaking to Today, Ms Ramsey described why she decided to back off. “I saw her and she was she was close enough, with enough speed, that it looked like she was actually going at maybe my fin tips. There (were) a bunch of little schooling fish under, so I could see her speed and I knew that I needed to back off in that moment.”
