Divers swim with one of biggest great white sharks off Hawaii - BBC
A team of divers has had a close encounter with one of the biggest great white sharks on record - and lived to tell the tale.
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.
It was attracted to the area off Oahu's south shore by the carcass of a dead sperm whale.
