That sure looks like a shark to me. If so, his back seems arched, indicating an aggressive posture. His way of telling you to piss off.

I had a similar experience to Ski Preo's out east about 17 years ago. I was maybe 40 meters out with a board when a fin broke the surface maybe 3 meters away from me. Then another, and another, something swam past me rather quickly. I figured I was a dead man; then I saw what they were - porpoises.Regardless, I haven't gone that far out ever since.

that remind me, about 5 years ago i was diving in a place called Safaga its down the red sea nearest to Saudi than Egypt, , there was those caves under water that are truelly beautiful, we were a group and i decided to instead of going under one cave, i will just swim around it lol, and all what i can remember is looking to the bubbels towords the surface and that huge fucking thing just above me scared the shit out of me, i swear i can remember looking to the dead blck eyes of it,, after that i fainted !!

later on i woke up on the boat , while everyone laughing at me cause a baby sharkscared me shitless !!

well no body told me we might swim with baby sharks, and baby or not that thing wasnt small it was bigger than me!!

now 5 years gone and i have neverever put my toe on the sea,, !! i had never been to the beach to swim!!

wots wrong with swimming pools!! when ever i go to the beach i fooe infront of it cant get any closer cause i truelly panic!!

This is a baby shark, but i took the photo with a zoom. It was about 30 m from me (not cyprus). The one on your photo: i dont think its a tuna. they have thinner fins....

Been windsurfing on Friday... On an unsuccessful jibe i fell into the water and my camera snapped this shot (it takes image every 5 seconds automatically).
I was quite deep but WTF was that? I hope is a nice big tasty blufin tuna...

That profile looked damn familiar, so I looked it up. It looks a lot like a Great White shark profile to me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_white_shark

Body fusiform, snout conical and relatively short, long gill slits not encircling the head. Large first dorsal fin with the origin over pectoral fin inner margins. Second dorsal and anal fins minute. Caudal fin homocercal (crescent shaped), without a secondary keel below extension of caudal keel.
