Would you all agree that this shark I saw at waterlemon last week was a lemon shark?

Sweet! I haven't seen any sharks myself yet.

Might be the same one we saw there a couple of years ago, but we didn't even get a poor shot of it, much less a great one like that.
Very nice!

Thanks to the people in the boat who were yelling at me that there was a shark coming towards me so I was ready to shoot a picture when he came in my direction...or maybe they were warning me to get out of the water? 
I got another couple of shots in that I'll post when I do my trip report.

YIKES! If someone told me there was a shark coming I'd get my butt out as fast as I can... I wouldn't be brave enough to take a picture! On second thought, I would be so afraid I would probably forget how to swim and become shark food!!
In all seriousness, is there anything in the oceans around St. John I really need to be afraid of?

cmw, I think the things to look out for around STJ are the currents and the surges. It seemed mighty current-y last week by Deavers and such. My last dive (of 10) was on Friday and I'm still tired.

Hope you don't mind I changed up the highlights, contrast and tint to sharpen it up for you. Great shot!

Great shot, Mrs. Cherry! You're braver than I am. I saw one about the same size between Francis and Maho a couple years ago, and shot out of the water like a geyser!

Wow, that is a great shot! I could never have gotten one like that with all the cloudy yellow water surrounding me........

Looks like my lawyer! “You know why sharks don’t bite lawyers – professional courtesy.” Sorry if any of you out there are lawyers, but I’m sure your heard the joke before.

Yeah I would be pretty sure they weren't telling you there was a shark so that you could get your camera ready...lol

Bert, I hope nobody was walking by my office when I read your post. You made me bust out laughing! I am with you all the way. I know my luck is going to run out sooner or later I just hope that when it does I can keep from panicking too bad. Thanks to all the photos I have seen on this forum I am slightly less petrified as they have all survived to post their pictures. Thank you all you brave people!
