As shark news goes, it doesn’t get much bigger than this.

Photographers have swum alongside the biggest great white shark ever snapped on film.

Spied feeding on a whale carcass off the coast of Hawaii, the shark known as Deep Blue rose and glided past the excited divers.

She is estimated to be 6.5m long, according to University of Hawaii shark expert Dr Melanie Hutchinson told local radio KHON2. But nobody really knows her length.

The largest reliably measured great white was caught off Ledge Point, north of Perth, in 1984.

It measured six metres from the tip of its nose to the end of its tail.

Deep Blue is thought to have last been seen off the coast of Mexico in 2013.

It is estimated she could be up to 50 years old.
