Aerial vision shows the large shark circling the box as diver Jimi Partington bobs in the azure blue water. Partington is then thrown into the air, and out of the cage, as the shark suddenly smashes through the bottom.
It came after the curious beast made a few “deliberate” bumps.
Footage of the 2020 encounter has been released ahead of Discovery’s Shark Week. It is part of a documentary called “Great White Open Ocean'”.
Taking to Instagram, Partington said it was the “closest I’ve ever been to a Great White Shark”.
“It’s been three years in the making and I can’t wait for you all to see my incredible journey,” he said.
“Thanks again for everyone who helped get me here after all that’s happened, all my friends and family have been incredibly supportive and for that I’m so very grateful.”
The shark is believed to be a juvenile great white.
