Divers swim with one of biggest great white sharks off Hawaii

[muriel_volestrangler]

Some of the divers came so close to the female shark in the waters off Hawaii that they were able to touch it.

The shark, nearly 20ft (6m) long and weighing an estimated 2.5 tonnes, is believed to be one tagged by researchers about 20 years ago called Deep Blue.
...
"She was just this big beautiful gentle giant wanting to use our boat as a scratching post. We went out at sunrise, and she stayed with us pretty much throughout the day."
...
Ms Ramsey said the shark was "shockingly wide" and could be pregnant. Deep Blue is believed to be about 50 years old and has its own Twitter account.

4. Gahhhhh, not me!

Incredible pictures, incredible opportunity for those who have the nerve and knowledge to do this. I have been diving with lots of different sharks over the years, sometimes there were several or even more but never close to a great white. This is amazing. I would have fled the scene myself. Wow. Beautiful animal.
