Weather conditions and shark behaviour can be unpredictable, so shark sightings are not always guaranteed. While the sharks are our primary focus, our trips are much like going on an African safari, and should not be rushed, but cherished and savoured, hence being longer than any other operators. It is our passion to provide you with a life-changing experience and new appreciation of the wildlife we are fortunate enough to encounter.

Natural Science Expedition – White Shark.Though great white sharks are the largest predatory sharks in the ocean, sharks of Deep Blue's size are seldom seen, and they're filmed alive even less often, making this a remarkable occurrence. Swimming so close to great whites is always dangerous, especially when they're feeding, but older, pregnant females tend to be more docile. (The record for biggest great white shark ever is often disputed, with some outlets listing an alleged 37-foot shark recorded in the 1930s as the record-holder.)ĭeep Blue looks especially wide in these photos, leading some to suspect she's pregnant. "She swam away escorted by two rough-toothed dolphins who danced around her over to one of my shark research vessels and proceeded to use it as a scratching post, passing up feeding for another need," Ocean Ramsey, one of the divers, wrote in an Instagram post.ĭeep Blue is roughly 20 feet long and weighs an estimated 2 tons-likely making her one of the largest great whites alive. They accompanied the shark in the water for the rest of the day, even getting close enough to touch her at times. Divers were filming tiger sharks feeding on a sperm whale carcass south of Oahu when Deep Blue swam up and began scratching herself on their boat.
New pictures and video taken by divers show what could possibly be the largest great white shark ever caught on camera, CNN Travel reports.ĭeep Blue, a 50-plus-year-old great white first documented 20 years ago, was spotted off the coast of Hawaii recently in a rare close encounter.
