A real sharknado! Predator leaves vortex in the ocean during close encounter with a diver in Mexico
This is the astonishing moment a great white shark created a 'sharknado' effect as it flapped around in the ocean.
The predator left a miniature vortex in its wake as it wiggled its tail around in the waters near a diver.
William Drumm, 32, captured the unusual moment on film in the Guadalupe Island - a volcanic island off the coast of Mexico's Baja California.

The animal can be seen swimming to the surface of the ocean before spinning round and smashing its tail against the water.
It creates a thin miniature tornado which continues to swirl as the shark swims out of camera.
The photographer said: 'My footage shows a large male great white shark at Guadalupe Island is making a sharknado underwater.

Great whites use their tails to propel themselves through the water. They'll smash it in the ocean to launch themselves in the direction they're travelling
'I had never seen this before, but a vortex was formed when this large male great white's tail hit the water.
'This is in Guadalupe Island, where the sharks come to feed on elephant seals and other pinnipeds.
'It really was amazing to see.'
