help identify shark Manly

Hi all,

I was doing some snorkeling at the fairy bower between Manly and Shelly beach and saw a group of 5 sharks, all around I'd say 80cm long.

They swim close to the bottom and the water level was about 5 to 6 meters. Hard to describe them in details, but I noticed a white spot a the top of the tail.

Just wondering what they are? Can't seem to find it on google.

If anyone has any idea, please let me know!

Thanks,

Gaetan

They are Dusky Whalers. Earlier in the summer they were strangly absent, but now they seem to be returning. A video of them can be seen: http://www.youtube.com/bocaj4224a

Hope this helps

Introductory Rust Diving on the Wreck of the MalabarIntroductory Rust Diving on the Wreck of the Malabar

by Simon

Around 7:00am on Thursday, April 2, 1931, a dense fog suddenly rolled into Long Bay, obscuring the northern headland. On the bridge of MV Malabar, en-route from Melbourne to Sydney, Captain George Leslie recognised the danger and ordered 5 degrees rudder to steer the ship seaward to pass further offshore than his original plan of half a mile.
