Great white shark spotted by divers in Islamorada??

[deeper thoughts]

Horizon divers are reporting on Facebook that a local dive shop saw a Great White on the Eagle.

Has anyone else heard this?

I was at Conch Republic yesterday when a similar report came in from Keys Divers.

I've seen them with my own 2 eyes on the S-16, southwest of Key West, as well as having video of one on Riley's Hump in the Dry Tortugas. With the recent catch and tag of one in Jacksonville and another catch and release in FLL, I'm not surprised if there was one on the Eagle.

Reefman, explain why you think this is BS?

There's pictures of the shark all over face book. Scuba Nation shared the pic and said "I truly believe this is the same shark that was spotted in Boynton Beach on Sunday, caught off Port Everglades by a fisherman on Monday , now sighted off the Eagle in Islamorada on Wednesday. SAME proportions... No coincidence"

Cool. That pic looks like a shortfin Mako to me, but I'm no expert. I like them all.....

Fixed it for them

Scuba Nation shared the pic and said "I truly believe this is the same shark that was spotted in Boynton Beach on Sunday, caught off Port Everglades by a fisherman on Monday , now totally pissed off at humans and sighted off the Eagle in Islamorada on Wednesday looking for revenge. SAME proportions... No coincidence"

Have I incited fear into divers yet?

From my lack of knowledge that is definitely a GWS. I blew the photo coloring out, but it highlights the colors to show the lines, which match every GWS I have ever seen.

i stand corrected. i heard this PM from a friend in the dive industry and the FKNMS that the GWS sighting(keysdives) is likely accurate
