Thank goodness they cut the line at the end of the video letting this giant Sawtooth Shark free.

Many Search Few Get To See

Key Largo has been home to many expeditions of scuba divers hoping to see a Sawtooth Shark.

Sad to say this search has cost the lives of some.

Pushing limits of the human body cost a famous shark film maker his life this year.

He was deeply hoping to get images of Sawtooth sharks.

Sightings of Sawtooth sharks are extremely rare.

Correctly picking the right spot to get to see a Sawtooth shark on any given day is similar to picking the correct lottery numbers.

The swimming movement of both sharks is similar.

Only the front of the head is the noted difference.
