Did someone say SHARK... at alahambra?

[GulfCoastdiver]

We got their at 8am (my wife, daughter[she is 14yrs, and a month old diver] and a friend and his son) and started setting up our gear when, a diver walks up off the beach and says, their is a VERY aggressive SHARK about 8 feet is out there and it made 2 passes at him... At first I thought he was being funny, or trying to be anyway, but he says no-joke and he was moving south a little ways.
We only know that spot, and we don't like aggressive sharks so we went to the same place he did, its a little north of the pier and there was a bathroom there.
We geared up and in we went, looking for that darn shark the whole time.
We had a bottom time of 91min (because my wife got cold, I had 1300psi in my tank) and a max depth of 21', vis was about 3 to 5 foot, we got about 150 teeth just between the 3 of us.

Anyone know what this is?

Old beak of parrotfish? The ridges on the inside look like they were designed to grind coral.

No idea what it is. Cold??? Wasnt the water around the high 80's? I was in the other week in shorts and a rash vest and that was a bit much too. As for the shark, where do you think the teeth came from (i know they are a bit old) or why the area was popular

The water was 82 degree, I was ok with shorts and a T-shirt.

I said parrotfish too.

So where did you find those teeth? Where is alhambra? I have dived Wilmington area and Cooper Riveer for teeth, but nowhere in FL yet. Where is it exactly?

Gulf Coast, an hour south of Tampa and an hour north of Ft Myers
