This is the first shark that I ID'd on Aliwal, distinctive mark on the left pec, scar on the right flank below dorsal. This female seems to be an approachable animal, and doesn't feel shy about swimming close.
She has a skin injury behind the scar on the right side. This will probably heal quite fast.
First sighting was monday Feb 6 2008, central shoal area.
The current was south - north, 8 m vis, 24 degrees.
Sighted on Feb 29 2008 just north of Castle, as we drifted north she became more confident.
Current was south - north, 15 - 20m vis, 26 degrees.
