Not a big surprice but cool video about the threshersharks tailfin.

We have them in the Red Sea and we see them regularly on the off shore dive sites. Like the Marine Parks.

I wish the video quality was a little better and they left the cameras running a little longer, but that was very interesting nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, I didn't know you got Threshers in the Red Sea! Another good reason to go back there...

Yeah mate we have Threshers, and actually quite a lot of them. At the right time of year on the right dive site you are very likely to see them. If you for example go to the north plateau on Little Borther Island and visit the cleaning station on 40 metres you are very likely to see them. And they come up quite close and personal. Very cool. On many of the off shore dive sites they are patrolling along the reef walls at similar depths.
