![]() Then on Tuesday 15th, something just as amazing happened. Much to the teams amazement an enormous Great white shark turned up and also began to feast of the whale however, this was not just any Great white shark, this was “Deep Blue”! She was positively identified due to her size and unique markings and scars. On January 13th 2019 conservationist and dive guide Ocean Ramsey and her dive team were studying tiger sharks that had been attracted to a dead sperm whale carcass 9 miles off Oahu. So much has now been written about this story in the media so we thought we would present the facts of the story as it unfolded. Then January 2019 came around and news broke of her being sighted once more, this time in Hawaii…. She had almost become a legend and we wondered if we would ever get a chance to see her again. In the years since she has been spoken about on every dive trip and we even produced a documentary around her story for the Shark Week show “Great white abyss” in 2017. ![]() ![]() During this film shoot she was tagged by Mauricio Hoyos and Greg Skomal. The footage of her circling a dive cage went viral and a star was born! She was also filmed the same year by Discovery channel for the Shark Week documentary “Jaws strikes back”. She became truly famous in 2013 when she was next documented by a number of photographers, again during the Guadalupe Island shark season. The first official record of “Deep Blue” is from 1999 when a few photographs were taken of her during that year at Guadalupe Island, however at that time she was not the enormous size she is today.
