leevet2This is a video I shot of a six gill shark from the deep submersable 'Idebal. The video was shot at a depth of 2000'. The shark is a female, and we estimated her length of 24'. The dive took place in the Cayman Trench, off the coast of Roatan Honduras. I thought it was pretty cool, and would love to hear any comments on the natural history of the sharks. I might post some other areas we filmed around the site. Also can post additional footage of this shark if there is any interest. Thanks!!
