After much prodding from some of my friends and customers, I've decided to share what may be one of a kind footage with you all.
A recent student of mine looked up "sharks sneezing" on the internet and found a quote which read "Scientists believe sharks sneeze, but there is no documented evidence." It went on to say they believe they do this to flush their gills...
I'm no scientist, but I believe I have video footage of a shark sneezing. I'll let you be the judge.. I shot this footage in 2005 on a Dive Site known as Sharks Pass in Truk Lagoon (Chuuk, Micronesia.) It is of a Black Tip Reef Shark... I believe... sneezing...
Have a look...
