‘You’re gonna need a bigger lunch’ Diver comes face-to-face with an abnormally big female shark while freediving near Florida

A diver has come face-to-face with an abnormally big female shark while freediving off the coast of Florida.

John Moore, 55, managed to capture several astonishing images of the giant shark near Jupiter earlier this month.

He managed to snap the huge female showing her rows of razor-sharp teeth and yellow-tinted eyes, while swimming among a shiver of bull sharks.

They say the camera adds 10 pounds, but one diver has managed to capture pictures of an abnormally fat shark swimming off the coast of Florida

The pictures were captured by John Moore, 55, while he was freediving with the sharks near Jupiter, Florida, earlier this month

Moore is an experienced diver, photographer, and conservation advocate. He frequently shares pictures of sharks off the coast of Florida on Instagram.

He said: ‘She was an abnormally large female. Very likely pregnant and certainly hadn’t skipped any meals.’

He explained the bull shark is likely overweight because of the influx of bait fish in the early spring.

Pictures show the massive female feeding with her head, chest fixed, and using her pectoral fins to slow her down.

Moore added: ‘She was a very dominant shark, confidently coming right up to me throughout our dive’.

Moore said the shark was abnormally large compared to the rest of the shiver and speculated she could be pregnant

The freediver added he thought the fat shark ‘certainly hadn’t skipped any meals’ in order to get to her size

Moore added the massive female was a dominant figure in the shiver while he was diving with the group last month

Bull sharks are commonly found in estuaries or off the coast of Florida, in both the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean

Bull sharks are commonly found in estuaries or off the coast of Florida.

They are one of a very few shark species which can inhabit both fresh and saltwater, and are often found in packs.

The species typically reaches between seven and 11 feet (between 2.1m and 3.3m) in length and can weigh over 1,500 pounds (680kg).

It is one of the most dangerous and aggressive shark species, accounting for the third highest number of attacks on humans.
