Divers spot the world's largest ever recorded great white shark 'Deep Blue'

'Deep Blue' was last spotted two decades ago in Mexico and is reportedly the largest great white in existence.

It weighs an enormous 2.5 tons, measures around 20 feet long and is 50 years old according to scientists.

Great whites, the largest predatory fish on earth, typically grow to 15 feet in length, with some, like Deep Blue, exceeding 20 feet in length and weighing up to 5,000 pounds, according to National Geographic.

Film shark 'Jaws' was 25ft - only 5ft longer than Deep Blue.

Beautiful animal.

That’s as big as the one in Jaws.
 
Surprised to see it's not that much bigger than a giraffe therefore not that impressive.
 
Damn they are just chilling next to it kinda like how you take your cow out for walk before baqra eid.
 
Would be going after that diver if it was a man eater.

Not if she fed recently. My understanding is that you have to do something to look like prey to them. If they dive under you, they are setting you up for an attack so dive with them.

Looks like she is carrying pups.
