Additional comments:
I believe this little guy/girl has been hanging around Koh Tao for 2 months now. We have sightings once or twice a week of a similar size shark and I've noticed it has a little notch in its tail (not clear in the image,but a few friends have video footage of the same one weeks appart). However I wondered if this shark has been ID'd before and if you have any information on our friendly visitor. I'd love to know, many thanks.
David.
