I don't have much to add but I like sharks, so I'll reply.

Several nurse sharks, 1 lemon shark, all in Cozumel.


I'm new and hope to add to that list.

"Guitar shark (is it a shark or a ray?!)
It's definitely a shark, it has a dorsal fin. Well, actually it has at least two!"

Actually, it is considered a ray (Family: Rhinobatidae) with many shark-like characteristics.

I'll play. I've been in the water with blacktip reef, whitetip reef, sand tiger, leopard, zebra, nurse, and wobbegongs in aquariums.

In Hawaiian waters, I've seen whitetip and blacktip reef (again), limbatus blacktip, sandbar, galapagos, gray reef, scalloped hammerhead, whale, and a cookie cutter. I know I'm forgetting something somewhere.

The only shark I have seen underwater was a whitetip reefshark in Bali, Indonesia...
But it raised my heartbeat, that's for sure

I know, I should dive more often
