A diver was inches away from being a Great White Shark's dinner as he ducked under its gaping mouth in frightening footage.
The man is seen swimming underwater before the shark appears from nowhere.
The extraordinary footage shows how remarkably close the two came to each other.
In a heart-stopping moment, the shark appears to open its mouth as the diver ducks down, narrowly avoiding its jaws.

The swimmer holds his hands to his head after the shark appears to collide with him during the encounter.
The video, shared on Facebook, is believed to have been filmed off the coast of South Africa.
Earlier this month, Mirror Online reported on a holidaymaker killed by a tiger shark who was attacked while her group surfaced from a dive off a remote island in the Pacific.

Rohina Bhandari was a director of a private equity firm founded by US President Donald Trump's commerce secretary.
The 49-year-old Wall Street financier suffered severe bite wounds to her legs when the shark attacked about 300 miles south of Costa Rica.
Holidaying doctors and Cocos Island National Park guards tried to save her when she was pulled out of the sea, but her injuries were too extreme.

A dive master survived after he was also bitten, and told park officials that the group had tried to drive the shark away.
Ms Bhandari, of the Upper East Side in New York, was one of 18 people diving off the World Heritage Site, known for its abundant species of sharks, when the attack occurred, the New York Daily News reported.
Costa Rica's Environment Ministry called the attack at the Manuelita dive site an "isolated incident", claiming it was "the first occurrence of this magnitude" off the island.
