RARE MASSIVE 6-GILL SHARK SIGHTING AT 3300 FT DEPTH!!

This six-gill shark (Hexanchus) was filmed during a submersible dive off the northeast coast of Molokai at a depth of 1000m (3280ft). The 2 red laser dots are 6 inches apart, resulting in a length of about 18 ft for the shark.
Great ecstatic live commentary by University of Hawaii Oceanography Professor Jeff Drazen!
Many thanks to Dr. Craig Smith (University of Hawaii) and Dr. Eric Vetter for permitting release of this footage which was obtained as part of their research data set.

Jesus, I'm very uneasy after watching these mysterious creature videos. I'm glad that this is a live video and not a fake. I wouldn't want to swim with that guy.

Careful! Those sharks are massive, bulky and incredibly fast (approx. 9mph)

That was no Megalodon. I do believe they are still out there like a lot of sea animals that are believed to be extinct. There is some actual evidence such as unfossilized teeth being found off the coast of Mexico and some sightings of very large sharks off the coast of Australia.
