World’s Largest Shark: 7-Metre-Long ‘Deep Blue’ Believed To Be Biggest Ever UNSEEN footage of what experts believe is the biggest great white shark ever caught on camera has been released. The seven metre-long female known as Deep Blue stunned the world last year when video was unveiled of it dwarfing cage divers off the coast of Guadalupe Island, Mexico. Now, diving enthusiast Michael Maier, 48, has released even more eye-catching clips of the giant female feeding on bait and inquisitively circling divers. Deep Blue, who is estimated to be at least 50 years old, was filmed by Michael in November 2013 – but these latest files were previously unseen.

Mexico’s Pelagic Fleet Solmar V review #1
Great animal encounters with the big guys that get your heart racing or leave you in awe.
“Socorro is a pristine area that has not been impacted by plastic pollution and doesn’t seem to be impacted by global warming. The Solmar V crew are so enjoyable and genuinely want all divers to have a nature-focused experience while being extremely safety conscientious. They love their jobs and really support keeping Socorro special. Being face-to-face with curious dolphins and admiring the beauty of a giant manta is difficult to describe – you have to experience it yourself. So glad I had the opportunity!”
Recommended for: Mantas, dolphins and sharks (hammerhead, Galapagos, silky, tiger, white tip, silver tip, whale)
“This was a bucket list item for me, I was not disappointed one bit. The boat was amazing, the crew was extremely well prepared, professional and on point with absolutely everything. This will now be an annual trip for me now.“
Recommended for: The sharks, the crew and the service. All top notch!
