People Are Flipping Out About This Gigantic Shark In Hawaii: See The Incredible Photos!

It’s “Jaws” the 2019 edition!

Divers in Hawaii spotted the world’s largest ever recorded great white shark weighing in at around 2.5 TONS!

The enormous predator named “Deep Blue” was last spotted in Mexico in 2013 and is up to 50 years old, according to scientists.

Divers Mark Mohler and Kimberly Jeffries recognized the famous shark on Sunday off the coast of Oahu as it was feasting on a dead whale carcass. “Deep Blue” is said to have been fitted with a tracker almost two decades ago, which is how the divers were able to identify her.

Kimberly took to Facebook on Wednesday to post the incredible photos – and if you are anything like us, you will be totally shook  at how close they got to this great white SHARK!

“If you asked me a few days ago what the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in Hawaiian waters the answer probably would be pretty different,” she wrote alongside the underwater photos.

“If you asked me yesterday the answer would be freediving with Deep Blue, a great white, the largest ever documented, who was last seen in 2013 in Mexico.”

Marine biologist Ocean Ramsey, who also joined the divers during the plunge, captured video of the “Shark Week” star and shared them on Instagram.

I waited quietly, patiently, observing as she swam up to the dead sperm whale carcass and then slowly to me passing close enough I gently put my hand out to maintain a small space so her girth could pass. I know some people criticize touch but what some don’t realize is that sometimes sharks seek touch, she swam away escorted by two rough-toothed dolphins who danced around her over to one of my @oneoceandiving shark research vessels and proceeded to use it as a scratching post, passing up feeding for another need. I wish more people would have a connection with sharks and the natural world, because then they would understand that it’s not petting sharks or pushing them off to maintain a respectable space that is hurting sharks (because trust me if she didn’t like being pet she can handle and communicate 🦈) it’s the wasteful and cruel practice of grabbing and catching sharks to cut off their fins (which slowly kills them) for #sharkfinsoup in a process called #sharkfinning or the wasteful #sharkfishing or #sharksportfishing If it bothers you that I touched the shark please click on one of the hashtags above and leave them a negative comment first 😉 #HelpSaveSharks #SpreadAwareness #FinBanNow #bansharkfinning #Sharkfin Vid shot on my @gopro #gopro3000 #goproforacause out with @oneoceandiving with @juansharks ❤️ @mermaid_kayleigh 💙 @camgrantphotography ❤️ @forrest.in.focus 💙 @oneoceanresearch @oneoceanglobal @waterinspired @oneoceansharks @oneoceanhawaii @oneoceaneducation #savetheocean #sharktouch #touchingsharks #oneoceanteam #discoversharks #discoverocean #greatwhitesharkinhawaii #freedivingwithsharks #whitesharkhawaii #deadwhalehawaii #dolphinsandsharks #🤙🏽 #Hawaii #sharka 🤙🏽🦈
