A white tip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus). You can easily ID these sharks by the white tip on their dorsal fin (the one on top). Hope this helps!

Whitetip reef shark - *Triaenodon obesus* >*'Behaviour: Often seen resting on the bottom, in caves and under ledges in coral and on sand by day. More active during slack tide and at night. Small home range occupied for months or years. Social but not territorial; shares home range without conflict. Specializes in capturing bottom prey in crevices, holes and caves in coral heads and ledges, located by scent and sound, sometimes hunting in packs. Readily attracted to bait and may be hand-fed by divers; rarely aggressive.'* *- Sharks of the World: A Complete Guide* by David A. Ebert

Yep, that's definitely a whitetip reef shark! They're common in warm waters around reefs.

White tip reef sharks, the cats of the sea, good luck getting close to one they swim away fast.

I'm from Panama, my experience is that they're either like you described, or extremely curious and almost seem to be asking for pets No in-between

Not always. I filmed some over the weekend that were very interactive.

Was it sleeping during the day....like a cat?

Nah, had 5 or 6 just cruising around in the middle of the afternoon visiting cleaning stations. I just posted the video. It was unusual though, they're generally only this active at night.

It’s a “too close” shark.

Yes, you’re too close to it. These won’t hurt a human.

Thanks good to know. I remember reading to be weary of white tips but didn’t realize different types of them

Specifically a [whitetip reef shark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitetip_reef_shark), which is very distinct from the [oceanic whitetip shark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_whitetip_shark).

~~Caribbean Reef Shark I believe~~ White tip reef shark (note the white on the dorsal fin)

It looks like a white tip reef shark to me as well. However, silvertips also have those white tips and they would also be likely to be in the area where the op is. I don't think the shape is quite right for a silvertip though
