How big...
...was the 2nd dorsal fin, in relation to the first dorsal? Grey nurses have very large 2nd dorsals, at least half the size of the first, while the bronzies, like all whalers, have very small ones.

Tail
How thick was the base of the tail and like Auslobster says how big was the second dorsal fin.
If it was the same size as the first one it might be a lemon shark

lemon
Its a tough call by the pic as u cant see the dorsal fins - but i'l lean towards a lemon shark. Grey nurse sharks dorsal fins are almost the same size and are easily recognized by the large curved hump behind its head.

not looking like a lemon to me. they have more of a rounded head, and you would be able to see the pattern if it was. im leaning either towards Bronzie or Grey nurse
