I swam with 'world's biggest' great white

Just staring at them can mak you shiver - so
imagine how it must've felt to be in the water.
Photographer Kimberly Jeffries was one of those
who got up close and personal with what's thought
to be the biggest great white on record - Deep
Blue.

"I thought my heart was going to explode," she tells
Newsbeat.
Over the next few days, several other huge sharks
also arrived, as shown below.
Kimberly was out in a boat off the coast of Oahu,
Hawaii. The photographer was hoping to get shots
of sharks feeding on the carcass of a dead sperm
whale.

"We noticed tiger sharks coming up to the back of
the engines. It was perfect because it was
ultimately what we came out to see."
After getting into the water though, Kimberly says
the team were surprised to find there were no
sharks.
"Maybe 30 seconds later we see this massive
shark, just kind of gracefully and slowly rising out
of the depth. And she comes up to feed on the
carcass."

The shark is believed to be one called Deep Blue -
around 50 years old, weighing an estimated 2.5
tonnes and nearly six metres long.
That is the same length as an adult giraffe.
