Seen off Cozumel near Palancar Cave. Didn't hang around at all but took off.
Name that Mexican Shark....

Looks like a bull to me.
But I'm certainly no expert.

The tail shape and size looks like Caribbean Reef Shark to me, stocky one.

Talking with one of the shark biologists at my work....he says that it could be either a Carribean Reef Shark or a Sandbar Shark. Fairly similar species even in hand. Though he leans more towards reef shark just for the greater abundance in that area.
Another vote for the carribean gray reef shark. I have seen several that appeared more stocky like this.
