New footage has emerged showing what is widely regarded to be the largest great white shark ever caught on camera - Deep Blue.

The 20-foot-long predator was first filmed near Mexico's Guadalupe Island in 2013 and featured on Discovery Channel show Jaws Strikes Back.

Researchers tagged the enormous fish and videographer Mauricio Hoyos Padilla released footage of it interacting with the divers inside a cage.

The great white shark was pregnant, measured over six metres in length and was estimated to be 50 years old

Shortly after the predator led the group of researchers to where she more than likely feeds - an elephant seal colony.

At the time the fish was filmed it was pregnant and measured over six metres in length. Researchers estimated that the giant was also around 50 years old.

The footage shows Deep Blue swimming towards the divers inside their protective cage while under water in Mexico.

The fish swims alongside the cage and dwarfs the researchers watching on before turning slowly and approaching the video maker.

The shark then passes the second cage very closely and Mauricio is able to capture a quick glimpse of Deep Blue's huge teeth before she swims away again.

According to the documentary the shark is recognisable by her scars, gained through either fighting or mating, as well as her huge size.

Researchers also noted that the shark has a large, gaping hole on her right trunk and her dorsal fin and tail appear to be scraped and damaged.

Mauricio posted this latest video to his Facebook page, where it has amassed nearly eight million views.

One person wrote: 'Deep Blue is my favourite and this video is even better than the first one,' while another said: 'Man! That was awesome; what a magnificent animal'.

Mauricio recently set up a Slideshare page in which he talks about the first time he came face to face with Deep Blue.

He claimed that seeing the large shark at such a grand age was evidence that protection and conversation efforts are working.

And went on to explain the challenges faced by the fish when they go to give birth in shallow water away from marine predators.

Mauricio is now looking for donations to protect vulnerable shark pups from threats posed by humans so that they may live to be as old and as large as Deep Blue.

Great white sharks are the largest predatory fish on earth and typically grow to around 15 feet in length and weigh up to 5,000 pounds.
