I saw this on reddit this morning. Apparently, a great white was seen on a dive with Scuba Works yesterday.

OP
I asked and haven't received a response yet. Besides "Jupiter" and Scuba Works, it would be somewhere along the Juno Ledge.
Man that would have been so awesome!!! I'm diving Jupiter this upcoming 3-day weekend (weather dependent of course). I'll have to keep my eyes up off of the reef and looking out into the blue.
OP
Looks like it was swimming over the sand. I would have probably been up on the ledge looking for lobster and missed it.

It was on the dive site " Tunnels".

It was estimated at 12-15ft in the video captured. Another topside non-diving boat was behind DivOcean and they also clearly picked it up on their bottom finder sonar. They tried to keep searching for it but could not re-acquire it on the screen.
I've been at the wheel waiting on divers and it's wild when something really big comes across my screen and pings off at 30ft when I'm 90 to the sand. Its a solid hard mid water object and you start screaming W T F is that!!! And then start doing slow circles and looking at the surface for a fin. I'm diving tomorrow 5 miles south of Tunnels and my head will be on a swivel that's for sure.( but it's migrating to the gulf for pupping probably, they never hang around)
