Fearless swimmer Ocean Ramsey hitches a lift on the back of a GREAT WHITE SHARK.

The brave beauty swam with the 17-foot beast in the waters off Baja in Mexico last year.

Shark conservationist Ocean, who is also a scuba instructor, model and freediver, travels the globe swimming with many species of sharks hoping to prove they are nothing like their Jaws film reputation.

In the video above, friend Juan Oliphant, captures the incredible moment the 27-year-old catches a 'tail ride' through the deep.

Ocean has so far swum with 32 different species of shark.

Describing her first meeting with a great white she said: "I feel so fortunate that some of the greatest moments of my life have been diving with Great White sharks.

"I recently took my third swim with a group of Great Whites.

"It's difficult to express the incredible joy and breathtaking emotion experienced locking eyes with a Great White shark.

"Watching the shark acknowledge and observe me, while I peacefully and calmly allowed it to swim towards me, and then experiencing it accepting my touch, allowing me to dorsal and tail ride.

"Once I was on the dorsal or tail I could hear the movement of the water flying past my ears and I realized we were probably moving two knots.

"The connection felt as I repeatedly pet and hitched a ride on several of these sharks reminded me of my experience with horses.

"A lot can be said between two creatures that don't speak the same language. Even without eye contact."
