15+. BTW 15' is a huge fish. 18-20' is in record territory. Just my opinion.


 

"Armchair oceanographers?"
Wow, pretty ignorant remark. So you spit in the face of the actual Marine biologist who specifically acknowledge and estimate the sharks size?

So lets compare the qualifications


Dr Mauricio Hoyos Padilla
"Marine Biologist, Shark Specialist
Beginning his career as a shark nursery ground and reproductive biology expert, Mauricio has always had a passion for shark conservation and has dedicated his professional life to the behavior of sharks. Currently his work is focused on researching behavior of ten species of sharks in areas all across Mexico, including Guadalupe Island, Revillagigedo Archipelago, Clipperton Atoll, and the Mexican Caribbean. Mauricio has remained active in shark conservation outreach and education, giving talks to groups as young as elementary school children as well as groups of high school and university students. His goal is to change the misconception of sharks in the human mind. He helped to found a group of biologists that have dedicated their work to the conservation of sharks and rays in Mexican waters through research and public outreach in education. He is also a collaborating scientist on the board of many different shark conservation foundations. "

Chaos: ?
 

He is quoted as being the largest GWS Mauricio has ever seen, estimated by the other Marine Biologist to be around 20', scaled under a boat that is 22' (both are viewed under water *same "magnification" occurs*) and obviously looks every bit of 18'-20' which is not unreachable for GWS.
So your initial estimation is wrong and you chose to discredit people who have dedicated their lives to these animals in favor of your opinion?

I think I'll trust the experts estimations over your estimation that she is a 15' GWS (also curious since you estimated her to be 16'-18'+ initially then changed it to 15'?) which is pretty average for a full grown female.

 

I'll just repost this here so it doesn't get lost in the non sense.
