Deep Blue swam from Mexico to Hawaii. She sure knows the best vacation spots.

the pair soon leapt into the water to take a closer look at the creature as she fed on a dead sperm whale

OK. I get that the sharks were happily munching on the whale carcass - but those divers could have been taken for a chunk that got away.

This defines crazy, IMHO.

HOLY SH!T, MAN!

I really cannot believe those pics :O

I can only assume that Godzilla there deemed the human to be too small a snack to bother with.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

If you will notice, the divers aren't wearing the standard 'black' wet-suit. It makes them look like a seal (the shark's favorite).

They are wearing a tiger-striped wet-suit.

You’re gonna need a bigger boat

[trisham]

Amazing.

Like the shark wouldn’t eat a tiger that wandered into range. :)

Those dumbasses are sure lucky that the shark was just stuffed to the gills on a whale carcass. The one taking this picture seems particularly poorly positioned to escape.

Dang, I was hoping for another “Godzilla free” day too!

There are lots of shark varieties. I have been SCUBA diving since I was about 12 and have seen many up close (tigers, threshers, nurse, white tip, black tip, etc. Even a hammerhead once), but I have no desire to ever be in open water with a Great White.

While this couple captured some great pics, like that movie Bird Box, this will just encourage other ‘invincible’ millennials to do stupid stuff. I am certain we will read about that stupid stuff sooner or later

Cool. She's petting the cute shark.

Some people do this with cute grizzly bears too. Makes for great photos.

But don't do this with liberals, no matter how cute they look, unless you're angling for a Darwin award. Not worth the risk.

Ocean Ramsey looks pretty tasty in her whale shark bikini too
