Bull Shark? Encounter!!!

[Coralhound]

I just returned from Abaco Bahamas. I was only able to dive one day due to heavy seas, luckily at the end of my second dive I had this encounter! We believe that this is a Bull Shark I have compared it to other posted photos and it seems to be the same. Do any of you have more familiarity with Sharks? It was ~5foot and I was kicking hard to keep it in the frame after it crossed in front of me! I hope you enjoy it!

My dive buddies were impressed that I kept it pretty steady and in frame while ******* it!

This was shot with my new Sealife DC1400.

Nice video. Looks like a carribean reef shark to me.

Love the Abaco! Not many Americans travel there anymore... I go every year! Beautiful shark.. definitely looks like a Bull to me. Did he try and eat any tin cans while you were down there? ;)

Nice job filming! He is a beaut! Lucky he didn't give you a warning for stalking him!


I had a brief encounter with a white tipped reef shark. He was a cutie but very shy.

Fins look more pointy than a bull sharks...I could be wrong but I think reef shark may be correct.


Still Awesome either way.

All the times I have been scuba diving or snorkeling and it is alot the only sharks I have seen are nurse. Hundreds of turtles, barracuda, squid, dolphin, rays etc. never a shark other than nurse, I don't think they like me.
