Well, the leopard(zebra) sharks are quite common, though they tend to be asleep on the bottom if and when you encounter them. One time we jumped in at Shark Point having been warned that the name was a misnomer and it was highly unlikely we would see any sharks, and dropped straight down onto a 2m leopard with a big hook in its mouth. But you're right, leopards are not a threat to people and there's not much else in the way of big
elasmobranchae, at least not in the day-trip range from Phuket.
Any good ray sites near Phuket? I'm toying with the idea of an August dive trip...
