This is the largest shark in the pack, about four meters in length. A bit of a fright to see such a large predator in very shallow water. Each of the suckerfish is from 18" to 24" in length.

Turtles were very scarce at Batt Reef that day. Sex of sharks was not known, but an interesting question. Will look closer next week.
