Awesome and hopefully there will be more sightings. Only thing that would make the video better would be music from the movies JAWS. BUT thats just me I guess :neener:

Ahhh!!! That is approaching the realm of "NO FAIR!" :axe:

Oh, and each six-gill sighting deserves it's own thread. Some people will miss this.

So............ what happened to the Thursday night dive at Redondo?!? No six gill reports yet? :smt064

Update! These are two different sharks....Mikiko found the evidence.... If you're interested look at the first video at 2:14 and the second at 3:14 and notice the first has a notch in his right pectoral fin and the second does not.

There's more than one out there folks! How cool is that?
