Sharky ponders sharks...

This is a Gray.

This is a Bull, photo taken by one of our customers last week on a Bull Shark and Eagle Ray outing. Mainly they just have shorter pointed nose and fatter torsos... and tend to be agresssive.

So..... Doesn't your bull pick look closer to it than the gray reef shark? Or no?

PS these popular dives are on the mainland, not Cozumel.

The bulls are normally much fatter and bigger than the Caribbean Gray Reef Shark. One more photo? Here it is:

Dumb question here, but where is the photo in question? Would love to see it.

See post #7.

Here is a Caribbean Reef/black tip taken in San Salvador, Bahamas:

Notice how much thinner and sleek looking compared to the Bull Shark.
Amazing, graceful creatures.

Thanks Prop Joe- I suffered a true blond moment. For some reason I was not logged on to SB and was not able to view the pics until after I was logged in. Your reef shark photo is stunning. Looks like you able to get quite close and get the money shot. I agree that the pic in question has that Tony Soprano Bull shark appearance. Another possibility is a very pregnant female reef shark.

You could also post this pic in the Scubaboard shark forum for some more input.
