Reef or Bull shark?

[morecowbells]

I didn't know whether to post this in the shark forum or critter ID. I did the shark dive in Roatan. I believe all the sharks were reef sharks. A friend of mine looked at this pic and thought it was a bull. Any input? Thanks in advance to all diving and shark enthusiasts

I think your buddy is full of bullXXX, but that is just my guess.

Tell your buddy he has no business trying to identify sharks. It is a reef shark.

Defo not a Bull, it's a Caribbean Reef Shark

This drawing of a bull shark shows some of the more significant and obvious differences...

Thanks for the information and reaffirming what I thought. I enjoy the power and strength of a bull(in photos only!)but this was my first shark dive and the reef sharks were amazing and beautiful to see.
