One of the bigger Sharks we saw during our trip. They can be up to 3.0 meters in length. They are active predators. This one was seen during a night dive and she was hunting White Tip Sharks. After the dive, we were shown video footages of this Galapagos Sharks gulping down a White Tip Shark within seconds!

Thanks, @mati1 for your comments.
This picture was taken with a regular Compact Camera, but in an underwater housing.
In Cocos Island, you can still see lots of Sharks.
