It's a diving trip to remember for all the wrong reasons.

Terrifying footage has emerged of an overly curious great white shark that manages to break through a shark-diving cage.

The clip, which was filmed on Guadalupe Island, off the western coast of Mexico, shows the huge animal surfacing to take some bait.

But as it heads back down it rams into a shark cage, causing one of the bars to break.

The sharks head enters into the cage for a few heart-stopping moments.

Luckily however it decides against sticking around and heads back towards the deep.

It was probably full after its meal of bait.

The Guadalupe Island is a notorious spot for great white sharks and attracts tourists all year round.

However this is not the first time a great white has managed to enter a diver's cage.

In 2016 a diver escaped unscathed after being trapped in a cage underwater with a great white shark.

But as it grabs hold of the bait it then makes a beeline for the shark cage
