I've seen angel sharks diving but have never caught one. Nor do I really want to. For a sedentary rather slugish shark they can be agressive if you mess with them. As you saw they can extend thier jaws out of their heads farther and faster then you would ever think they could. Thier teeth are nasty too. They can't take a chunk out of you but they can grip and hold on for long time. An old friend of mine used to catch commercially and he always referred to them as "Snappy Toms". Be arefull. Mike
