Sixgill Shark Sighting @ Cove 2

[tangfish]

A couple buddies and I came across a 14-foot sixgill shark last night at Cove 2. It was amazing. The adult female swam gracefully for a few minutes, then settled down to the bottom.

I took some footage of it.

Very cool, thanks for posting the vid!

14-foot ... that's a BIG fish.

Wonder if that's "Blondie" ... the large female that the APLP line-runners keep spotting ...

Cool vid. I have a feeling I'd need to change my undies after spotting a large shark on a night dive

What an awesome experience! I'm so envious!

Great clip! I'm envious. All I ever see at 100 feet in Cove 2 is seals.

Ya Lynne...all you ever see at Cove 2 are seals...they must like you for some reason...
Count yourself lucky...You could do worse for a dive buddy!

Yeah, and it's just the Cove 2 seals that like me. The ones we wanted to play with at Snake Island were standoffish and snooty.

The ones at Snake Island haven't learned to use dive lights as a hunting aid ... since nobody ever night dives out there and the seals tend to congregate in very shallow water ...
