OceanX | Filming A Mysterious Deep Sea Shark @OceanX | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
During OceanXplorer's 2023 expedition in the United Arab Emirates in partnership with @environmentabudhabi and The Burt Marine Biology Lab, NYU Abu Dhabi we encountered an endangered shark while on a submersible dive.

The bramble shark is a deep-dwelling species that's covered in thorns. It's rarely observed, and our close-up encounter marks the first time the species has ever been spotted in the waters of the United Arab Emirates.
