Nice video Drew. So sad to see the typical fish hook in the shark though!! That's a very common thing here on Maui. That leader looks like it is very likely to get snagged on something. Is that a popular fishing spot?
OP
This video was shot in our north shore MLCD (Marine Life Conservation District). It is safe to assume that that shark was just passing through and wasn't a resident, although illegal fishing does exist with the park...but thats a whole separate problem.

I still have yet to see a brotula 
31) and am kinda looking forward to it.
Cool whitetip. Have you considered sending pictures in to whitetip.hawaii.edu? The site operator uses the black spot patterns on the side to track the sharks around Hawaii. I put in a couple of semesters helping out with the ID's. I've seen sharks hooked like that before and eventually the hook rusts out, but not before leaving an awful scar. A lot of them break their jaws (thus the drooping mouth look). It is really sad. Even worse, somebody sent in pictures of 2 sharks found on the bottom off Maui with their jaws removed but otherwise intact. We identified the animals from pictures taken before.

I havent sent stuff to whitetip.edu in a while...I have sent Nick W, about 20 or so clips of White tips from all around the island from about 3 yrs ago, but nothing lately.
Great vid Drew! I love night diving. You really got my mind going.
