Shark circling our boat - three mile

hey guys – went fishing today off Mindarie (three mile out from quinns caravan park) and had a shark circle us for a while. Couldn't tell if it was a Bronzie or a Tiger... what do you guys think?

Either way, it was an awesome sight. The only concerning thing is that it was right where I plan to dive on Saturday!:(

Here's a link to a vid... http://www.madmackie.con.au/Western-Australia/Fishing/Videos/play.aspx?vT=Shark%20Circles%20Boat&vID=NMkgc1YcYgQ&vDes=Shark%20circles%20fishing%20boat%20off%20the%20coast%20of%20Mindarie,%20Western%20Australia

 Couldnt fully make it out but looks like a bronzie. You will see sharks anywhere you dive but just stay calm and it should go away

The real question should be, what size hook did you use to try to catch it?
