4 to 5 feet - I either saw two or the same one passed by twice. Both encounters I swam toward the shark and it swam off -

A bonnet head shark was trying hard to get to the lobsters in my bag. Surprised me twice getting within a few feet.

Over 5 days of diving, a total of 12 hours, this was the only dive I saw sharks. It was later in the day, almost evening. It was getting dark down there with the sun going down - I believe if we stayed longer some larger nocturnal predator's would have shown up.
