Coatesi Shark [Carcharhinus coatesi]
Description
Coatesi sharks are less commonly encountered by recreational divers, but when they show up, they’re typically seen as sleek predators moving through clearer water. Divers may notice their steady, unhurried approach as they patrol along drop-offs or near reef edges in search of prey.
