Additional comments:
Fairly large scar on nose.
My husband speared a fish right before we ascended and generally the Sand Tigers are curious but leave us alone after we shoo them away a few times. This ST wasn't easily deterred with poking/touching, to the point where we almost just gave him the fish. He followed us from the bottom up to about 40ft.
