Popular Post Eldorado Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post #1 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The enormous predator named Deep Blue is up to 50 years old, weights 2.5 tons and measures 20ft long. It was drawn to the water around Hawaii for what one diver described as an 'all you can eat buffet' - to feed on a dead sperm whale. Deep Blue was last spotted in Mexico in 2013 where it was fitted with a tracker which is how divers were able to identify it this time. Conservation photographer Juan Oliphant was one of the divers who took the plunge along with with marine biologist Ocean Ramsey .

Unusual Tournament Posted January 18, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Shark diver 'calm' as she swam with largest great white shark ever recorded A woman who swam side-by-side with a shark, the length of a giraffe in Hawaii had never dived with a great white before her "calming" encounter with the big beast. The six-metre-long shark, named Deep Blue, was drawn to the warm waters of the north shore of Oahu earlier this week to feast on a dead sperm whale. https://www.9news.com.au/2019/01/18/08/15/deep-blue-shark-hawaii-diver-ocean-ramsey-us-news 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
