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

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.
