Is it a shark or a ray

Diving outside the bay off Mafia island got me my shark fix for today or so I thought.


Was it a Guitar fish or Guitar shark? The first one was considerably bigger than the second but it was only after the discussion with the others that I realised I hadn’t pressed play on my GoPro and therefore had no evidence of it – very annoying!

and apparently Guitar sharks don’t exist they are all rays…

Guitar ray – pectoral fins fused to the head, gills on the underside

Guitar shark – pectoral separate, gills on side
