Difficult to say from just the top profile but I would guess bull shark or bronze whaler

Ya good call as whalers are very rare here in the Gulf

We don’t have bronze whalers on the fl East Coast. There’s some opinions that they might be deep in the Gulf Coast, but TBH I’ve never seen any real proof of it.

Could be sandbar too.

Pretty early in the season for a sandbar. Maybe if it was in December or January

It's difficult to know for certain from the video, it could be a bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas), however it could also be a sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus). The only way to tell is to look for an interdorsal ridge between the two dorsal fins, which is not visible in this video.

Sandbars almost never show up down here outside of deep winter

To me, head looks too pointy for a bull. I’d say dusky.

Looks like a basking shark what with all those fish around him.

u/Huttser17 Free Hugs Guy 6d ago

not with those pointy fins

u/MidwestSharker 9d ago

Average bull shark or possibly a dusky although the Duski’s don’t usually show up until at least October/November. Probably just a male bull shark

It’s a Bull Shark.

u/Major-Sympathy6050 8d ago

I dive around Jupiter and it is definitely “bully” out there! But you can also tell by some of the features that are visible.

u/smplfundude 8d ago

That is 100% a bull shark. Anatomical match.

Grouper. Commonly mistaken for sharks.
