Longimanus Shark in the Red Sea - Brothers Islands

[groovymango21]

Geee u most be pretty smart wid sharks!!!

[scratch009]

it's an oceanic white tip.. (or longimanus) not too be confused with the (much smaller) white tip reef shark, which is quite harmless, these can be aggresive, but usually one should watch out being on the surface with these (or snorkeling!). They are known to attack people from ship-wrecks. arching their back (ass a cat more or less) is a definite sign of aggression. dived with them in the south of egypt as well... great experience. Staying together and calm, then it's usually fine.. beautifull

his body == his tail (my mistake)

[joe1977poland]

Dude, honestly I think you were lucky! by the way this sharks moves (swims only through the moves of his body, not the entire corpuse) it seems that he must be digesting some stuff so he is full right now. Normally that type of sharks attacts people alot. B careful down there.

I think you´re right. It´s the White Tip shark; not crazylly dangerous but it can easilly eat a human biegn if it´s hungry.
