no way to be sure
No way to be sure with a screen cap, but looks very much like a Grey Reef Shark (which is one of the most common species up there). I've dived with hundreds of them. Pigeye Shark is a good call too, but it looks like the dorsal fin is too far back for that. Not a Bully - dorsal is way too tall.

tough one
i dont think its a bull shark, sure it has a blunt nose but still too pointy for a bully. i think it could just be a very fat broznie. no way its a greatwhite. i have free dived with lots of sharks from esperensce to exmouth and the cloesest that is a type of whaler but a very fat whaler. near augusta we always see very large barrel like bronzies but this looks a bit different, could be a weird bully, but doesnt look like any bully i have ever seen

big grey shark
Very similar to the bronzie , but has the slightly rounder noise and bigger shoulders ..... pretty sure its called a pig eye whaler over here.

Its a fat bronze pig eye grey bull whaler reef shark then
Going to call it for 3 and a half meters as it seems to be the size of all the sharks off the wa coast that are smaller than 5 meters.
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

maybe all the 3.5s are like
maybe all the 3.5s are like family? like all brothers and sisters or something haha, the one we had come up to us while snapper snooping in cockburn sound was 3.5 when it was next to me it was longer then me and fins by about a meter or so and me and my fins are like 2.6ishm together. and then the next week my mates saw one at the abrohols also 3.5m in 30m clear vis. i think there is like 5 or 6 borther/sisters/cousins/ same generation sharks around wa atm and then like a few biggers ones, and the residentails
