Massive 14ft great white LUNGES open-mouthed at boat full of tourists

The 14ft ocean beast leapt teeth first out of the water in a bid to grab hold of bait.

In a spectacular clip, the tourists gasp in astonishment as half the shark’s body surfaces before them.

A man aboard the South African cage diving boat captured the stunning moment on his mobile phone.

The video, filmed in Mossel Bay, shows the shark emerging from the water as it lunges for a tuna head at the end of a line.

Another shark without a fear of close human contact was recently caught on camera heading straight for a diver’s head.

But rather than feasting on the deep sea swimmer, the shark was attempting to get his attention.

The creature had been stabbed by a giant hook, which diver Josh Eccles removed by hand in an incredible underwater video.
