Shark in the pic with woman is a nurse shark, often dubbed 'lemon sharks' in the NT.

Yeah that pic is a grey nurse shark or ragged toothed shark. Heavily hunted in the 70’s because they thought it was responsible for a lot of attacks. Turns out that they aren’t agro. Ive dived with them at the pinnacles near Forster

The top pic is the grey nurse (incorrect for the story) and the pic of the shark on the woman is yer good old nurse shark, eg 'NT lemon'
