The giant great white shark Deep Blue was filmed off the island of Guadeloupe in 2013 and has since been considered the largest great white shark in the world at over six meters long. Now there's spectacular footage of a great white shark that could be even bigger. Experts are already speculating that even larger predatory fish may be on the move. What are the rumors about the world's largest great white shark?
In 2013, an impressive video was made public that showed a great white shark in the waters off Isla Gaudeloupe, peacefully gliding past a shark cage. The pregnant female was enormous in size: the animal, which was filmed by the lucky divers, measured over six meters.
Even bigger than Deep Blue – huge great white shark filmed
Relevant British media and the online magazine GrindTV recently reported on a shark that is probably even bigger than Deep Blue. Now renowned underwater photographer Stephen Frink claims to have caught a great white shark even larger than Deep Blue. According to his own statements, Frink photographed a great white shark that could easily compete with Deep Blue, as he reported to the British Mirror and the Daily Mail.
The 67-year-old Frink is a well-known personality diving sports. He is a respected underwater photographer and editor of Alert Diver Magazine based in Key Largo, Florida. According to Frink, the photos of the supposedly largest white shark were taken when Frink was traveling for research purposes in South Australia, South Africa and Isla Guadeloupe to take close-up photos of white sharks.

Bigger than Deep Blue – The photo may be of the largest great white shark in the world
Renowned underwater photographer Stephen Frink recently released a stunning photo showing a giant great white shark close to two cage divers. Frink believes the animal in the photo could surpass in size and proportions the legendary Deep Blue, believed to be the world's largest great white shark since 2013. However, there are doubts about Frink's claims, because the image data do not allow a clear estimate of the size. Also, the exact location of the image is unclear, making a definitive assessment difficult.
Stephen Frink shared his spectacular sighting on Facebook, delighting numerous shark enthusiasts. Here is an image quote from the Facebook post:
~New Filming Doubts – Will Deep Blue Keep Great White Shark Title?
There is no question whatsoever that the great white shark captured is huge. But experts still believe that the great white shark shown is not as big as Deep Blue, and Deep Blue remains the largest great white shark in the world - at least the largest animal ever filmed. The experts also state that the angle of the photograph is misleading. The shark is not as close to the divers as it seems, but a few meters away. This is evident from the recordings of other divers in the shark cage.
Nevertheless, the image is a fascinating, spectacular photo of a great white shark, which is at least a close second to the largest white shark in the world. “Great white sharks are the apex predators of the ocean,” Frink told the newspapers. “The goal of every underwater photographer is to get as close as possible to the animals and take great photos of them. There is a lot of intimacy with the great white sharks in my images. Through underwater photography you can get very close to the animals. For a great white shark, you need a wide-angle lens to photograph it up close. I want to get very close to the animals and show their behavior. That is my goal!"
Photographer Frink reports that South Australia, South Africa and Isla Guadeloupe are his favorite destinations for diving with great whites. “Great white sharks are quite shy,” emphasizes Frink. “We haven't known for a long time where we can even find them regularly and reliably. They are beautiful and majestic. “You deserve to live,” emphasizes the underwater photographer.

Incidents with sharks are often caused by humans
When white shark incidents occur, they are most often due to human error. Just recently, a spectacular video showed how a great white shark was baited off the island of Guadeloupe and followed the bait to the underwater photographer in the shark cage, so that both man and animal were in the cage.
