Agreed.
I can't tell. lol. A media report said Bull, Someone on Spearboard told me reef shark. I'll take your word for it John, you would know better than most. I had a mod change the title to just, shark.
I have a hard time telling give that the shark isn't onscreen for very long and it's moving pretty fast; the actual bite/graze is completely obscured by all the bubbles. Definitely not a bull; those things are built like weightlifters (and odds are that hit would have been a lot worse). With the way it's moving it's hard to tell if it has the sandbar's characteristic oversized pectoral and dorsal fins; the two other possibilities I can think of off the top of my head are dusky or Caribbean reef shark (the former being relatively uncommon).
I've had sandbars trailing after me while I've been hitting lionfish; they always struck me as relatively cautious.
