At one point, the shark got face to face with the brave photographer as it feasted on bloody bait.

A great white shark weighs 5,000 pounds on average and can grow up to 23feet long.

Photos reveal the massive shark baring it’s jaws at the photographers in the cage as it thrashes about in the water.

Euan, 36, had the harrowing experience off the coast of Guadalupe Island – 120 miles off the coast of Mexico.

The photographer recalled: “It was an unforgettable encounter with the king of the ocean.

“I was very excited because of the position of the boat and where the sun made it so I could see through the water really easily.”

The largest ever great white shark, dubbed “Deep Blue”, was spotted off the coast of Guadalupe Island last year.

The gigantic great white sent ripples across the world when she was first caught on camera in 2014 off the coast of Guadalupe Island in Mexico.

When researcher Mauricio Hoyos Padilla posted a clip of her in 2015, it quickly went viral.

It’s thought Deep Blue may have been pregnant when first discovered, as female great while tend to remain in solitude at high depths until they are ready to give 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, according to Surf Researcher.

Experts believe Deep Blue is the largest great white ever seen and has lived for more than five decades.

Despite their notoriety for being dangerous sharks, Deep Blue does not have an aggressive personality, according to experts.

Meanwhile, two cage divers came face to face with a terrifying shark in Guadalupe, Mexico, with incredible pictures showing the giant apex predator swimming dangerously close to the brave pair.

And while it was not possible to take an exact measurement, the colossal beast looked like it could be larger than 20ft shark Deep Blue.
