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..

Some false information here; the link says that this species is not endangered. Frankly I don't know what they're smoking. They're probably one of the most endangered sharks.

IUCN has them listed as critically endangered

Yeah, which makes it clear as a main ingredient of shark fin soup. Thanks China.
