Don't know what sort of shark it was but i do know that it was just waiting for them to hook a fish so it could steal the catch. sneaky bugger.
maybe a grey nurse or possibly a bull shark, the size is right for either but the black 'tips' on the dorsal and tail fins don't fit with a grey nurse
so it is probably a bull. the only other shark i can think of with those colourations is a black tipped reef shark but they don't get that big.
A quick net search would answer it..
NOTE: i havent read through other post's so sorry if this has already been said or if it's been answered already.
ADD: my bad, there were no black tips, it was the lighting.
After a bit of research i'm pretty sure it's not a great white, the tail fin is all wrong and the tail tapers too much.
It's not a grey nurse as they have a large secondary dorsal fin about 2/3 the size of the main dorsal.
But it does look alot like a bull shark. Hard to tell without seeing more of it clearly.
