The Dorsal Fin

Not much information was provided with this video other than it was uploaded by YouTube user MrFricki123 and was filmed at Kuredu Island Resort, Maldives. The man seen in the video frees what appears to be a juvenile blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) that had become trapped in a small plastic bag. Someone can be heard saying “plastic is everywhere” off-camera (presumably the man who freed the small shark).

Kudos to the gentleman in the video for rescuing the young shark.

YouTube esguerra1 posted the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) video above. The footage was shot at Maamigili Outer reef off of the southern tip of South Ari Atoll, Maldives, according to the video description.

Kudos to esguerra1 on some nice pro shark media!

YouTube user Rodolpheholler recently uploaded this nice little bit of footage shot in Hanifaru lagoon in the Maldives. The video features some nice human interaction with mantas. The footage is capped off with a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) surrounded by mantas.
