Another white shark showed up around the shallower reaches of the wreck of the Duane off Key Largo in 140 ft. of water. The Youtube caption for the video:

"Published on Jul 29, 2013
This was my check out dive after not diving for 11 months (I guess I should point out this is normal for me. I only dive this time of year). It was the afternoon of July 27, 2013. Also first time with the GoPro HD Hero 3 Black Edition set to 1080p 30fps wide(wish I had it on 60fps). I was using a Polar Pro snap on filter, UK PRO GoPro Camera Pole 8 Inch, and a Princeton Tec Impact XL Dive Light. I should have shaved before because me fixing my my mask probably caused a lot of the shaking in the video. It was also my best dive ever. Good thing since it was my only dive this year. Sorry it's a little rushed after the beginning got everyone's blood pumping. We are thinking the Great White was about 13 to 14 feet long. After some testing using a 14 foot car from the same distances. I'd say he was 13 feet."

The shark shows up close to 3:00


I went scooter free diving on the Duane in 2009 (and again in 1993 without fins). A nice sized bull shark showed up swimming across the bottom in 2009 and shows up in the video below:

another was seen feeding on a dead sperm whale on the surface off Key Largo in 2014:
