Watch the video.
Narration is ordinary:

This one was certainly not a young white or tiger shark. I'd even say he looks rather calm. Maybe an old shark.

Ah, thanks for the info Jim. As this video is about a giant Pacific octopus, I admit it's a bit hard to me to determine the scale lenght of the shark - though it's obvious this one is smaller than the beasts I've mentioned above.

Average Spiny Dogfish is 0.9m to 1.2m long.

I reckon this vid is far more interesting:
