The cage is there for a reason, man. It’s there to be used. So, you know, you don’t become a hearty meal.
Such was the case for this daring diver who floats outside the relatively-safe, barred confines of an underwater cage and dangles his or her scrumptious body before the bloodthirsty, razor-lined jowls of a great white shark.
A great white shark, mind you, that’s roughly the size of a suburban Home Depot.
Seriously. The thing looks like a goddamn Spielberg prop.
It’s probably because, according to experts, the mighty fish is being billed as the largest great white sharkever recorded. Ever. Recorded.
What was that Freud said about a death drive?
The crazy diver in the background is Mauricio Hoyos Padilla, and the shark is “Deep Blue”. That’s the cute name he gave her (she was pregnant at the time). The name isn’t to be confused with the supercomputer that stomps humans in chess.
The footage was taken off the coast of the island of Guadeloupe in Mexico. Deep Blue is said to be about 20 feet long — roughly the length of a small yacht.
