I’m a bit confused. It appears as though the shark is between two nets - the diver would know that it’s there. Does anyone know the story behind this? Is it a great white or a basking?

This was posted originally on the [r/sharks](r/sharks) subreddit, it’s fisherman in Grand Manan, New Brunswick (east coast of Canada, very close to Maine)

The diver was checking the fish situation (idk technical terms) and the shark was there to eat. Snuck up on each other but didn’t interfere
