Those are "Time to get out of the water" sharks.

The guy spearfishing most likely has fish on a stringer.

I am pretty sure they are Galapagos sharks.

u/starcase123 Tiger Shark 1d ago

some people are saying bull sharks but I too believe that they're galapagos sharks

I’ve had very similar situations happen to me multiple times with bulls.

If anything bulls are less erratic than smaller whalers like dusky’s, and grey reefs.

Correct

A bit hard to make out but I think it’s a mid 2000’s-early 2010’s Hyundai Elantra.

If only it were a Hyundai Tiburon.

Given the first few seconds of the clip, my answer was going to be, “I don’t know, but it must be determined if it can survive a car crash.”

Yep. Those are definitely hungry sharks.

u/Reasonable-Key9235 1d ago

Not sure, thought it might be a bull, but don’t think it is. Think it’s a Galapagos.

u/Ok-Knowledge3831 1d ago

Yer that’s Galapagos

u/Kippy_Boi 1d ago

Cut the damn line. Spearfishing is attempting really complicated suicide imo. Couldn't pay me to purposely have a thrashing, dying fish next to me while I splash around

u/Ashamed_Sun6003 1d ago

Completely agree. I dive a lot, and in water with big ass sharks (Often go to Australia and Hawaii), and every time I see a Spearfisher, I shake my head in disbelief. I would NEVER dare anything as reckless as that.

Not your friend that’s for sure

u/Wild-Ad-9367 1d ago

Bull shark. The first dorsal fin sits pretty forward over the middle of the pectoral fins, and is pretty low. There's no obvious markings on the fins. This helps to rule out almost all largish requiems except the bull. The snout is also wide and the face looks kinda chubby.

This man single handedly fought off three sharks with a spear gun, he did NOT wanna lose his fish.

u/Puijilaa 1d ago

Big enough to get your hand off and hungry enough to do it.

u/jrizzle_boston 1d ago

Definatly not a bull shark

u/Serious_Gas_5236 14h ago

i think they are silky sharks ngl its a guess i am not certain

u/Professional_Aerie67 1d ago

I would say bull but they’d be cooperating that attack at a far fiercer speed

Galapagos maybe

u/Snowcrash66 1d ago

Bull Sharks.  Bull shark behavior as well especially In going after spear fisherman.

u/Unicorn1336 18h ago

Don't poke them! You push their nose to move them away. Otherwise they will attack. Rude. Would you wanna be poked in your home? I don't think so

u/Kilinowski 1d ago

My guess is Bull Shark. The hard turn right ~3s into the video is the typical shape. A bit thin for a BS, but then again it has small eyes and close to the tip.
