Git oot of here ha ha ha what else would you be doin ha ha ha magnificent!
OP
They need to interview the open water student! Sure, the instructor makes it all sound kinda SOP.
I've had a number of shark encounters, all benign though a couple had an edge . . .a scintilla of fear, if you will. But this . . .!
I'm afraid of great whites, tiger sharks and bull sharks. My SOP, in this instance, would likely have resulted with brown stains.

Dang, and I thought I was lucky having a dolphin swim past me within a couple of arm lengths during my OW checkout dive #3 
I had a Caribbean reef shark circle me and my instructor when I did my first OW checkout dive. I was doing fin pivots in a sandy channel and the instructor grabbed me to point it out.
I imagine for the student in the video that experience was what I felt times 1000. Hehe
I would have loved to have been there on that dive.

I'm doubtful that video is of the actual shark on the OW Dive #2 that is described. Neither the instructor nor the students should have a camera during a PADI OW class.
OP
He said “customer” and leading said “customer” on the second dive, I don’t speak Canadian do they refer to students as “customer”? I get the off handed reference to things you don’t see while teaching as a generalized statement 
Could it have been a Salmon Shark, Lamna ditropis, they look similar, but usually in the Pacific.
