This dude came upon us in the Komodo National Park last week. I was VERY surprised when he cruised by, and I saw no black or white tip. I immediately labeled it a gray reef shark...until a very knowledgeable and experienced friend swore up and down that it is a snaggletooth shark. A snaggletooth would be a super-rare finding in Komodo. Maybe somebody here has some insight? He/she is about 2 to 2.5 meters. FWIW, the students in the background were on the sixth dive of their lives. Not bad...
