New footage shows majesty of 'biggest shark in the world'

More footage has been released of what experts are calling the biggest shark in the world.

This incredible video of the seven metre monster, dubbed Deep Blue, was shot off Guadalupe Island near Mexico in November 2013.

Diving enthusiast Michael Maier, 48, only released the clip recently and it shows the female shark, thought to be pregnant at the time, dwarfing the divers as she circled their cage.

In the film, Michael describes his encounter with the ocean giant.

He said: "She was very calm, not at all nervous and she was just doing her circles around us. She was very interested in us and had been really looking at us.

"During her circles, we realised how big she was, somewhere around seven metres."

Michael says he has a passion for diving with the beasts.

He said: "Why I love diving with sharks is the massive force of the animals, in combination with elegance. It is never hectic, it's quiet, it's reassuring and it's just very beautiful to be with them the whole time."

Here is the original footage released last year of the same encounter.
