Pictures show gargantuan shark that could be bigger than 20-foot record-holder ‘Deep Blue’
Photographer Stephen Frink snapped the colossal beast in Guadalupe, Mexico
TWO cage divers come face to face with what could be the world’s biggest great white shark.
Snapped by underwater photographer Stephen Frink, 67, in Guadalupe, Mexico, these incredible pictures show the giant apex predator swimming dangerously close to a pair of brave divers.
And while it was not possible to take an exact measurement, the colossal beast looks like it could be larger than 20ft shark Deep Blue who currently holds the title of the biggest white shark on the planet.
Intrepid snapper Frink, who lives in Florida and is the publisher of Alert Diver magazine, took these incredible shots while visiting the world’s best shark spotting areas.
Aside from Mexico, the diving enthusiast travelled to South Australia and South Africa to study the magnificent creatures.
He said: “These are the three best places for great white sharks on the planet.

“Great white sharks are the ocean’s apex predator. Any underwater photographer will covet a chance to get close and get photos of them.
“There is intimacy in my photos. With underwater photography it is necessary to get very close, and with a great white shark it takes a wide angle lens within three feet away.
“Getting near and showing their behaviour is my objective.”
Animal conservationist Stephen said that great white sharks are misunderstood and should be protected.
He said: “People are typically impressed with the predatory power of the great white, more so than any other shark.
“Great white sharks are notoriously shy. Only lately have we known where and when to find them, reliably.
“They are beautiful. They are majestic. They deserve to live.”
