Video Oceanic white tips at night

Because I saw the video of the night dive with the whale shark.

This was on a liveaboard where oceanic white tips cycled our boat. I took ma not too expensive camera, tied a rope to it and hung it down in the water.

I wouldn't have gone in that water at night for a million Euros..

I’m more nervous about white tips than any of the big three

This link says it’s not endangered, yet it’s listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List

"Endangered" means a few things depending on which of the three entities you refer to. There's the endangered species list, the IUCN, and CITES. The latter limits trade and doesn't denote endangered status, but people use it that way anyway as it protects the endangered species.
