Deep Blue was first discovered in 2014, she was filmed as part of Shark Week off the coast of Guadalupe Island, Mexico.

Padilla posted a video of her on Facebook in 2015 and then she quickly went viral. Diver, conservationist, and marine biologist Ocean Ramsey swam alongside Deep Blue in the waters of Oahu, Hawaii.

Despite her enormous size, she has been filmed non-aggressively in Ramsey’s presence and even tolerating the presence of other scuba divers in the area. Even allowing Ramsey, to hold on to one of her fins while swimming with her.

However, the above video is disputed by multiple sources that the shark encountered by Ramsey was not actually Deep Blue and was likely to be Haole Girl, another female shark, which is not as large as Deep Blue.

Deep Blue or Haole Girl Shark everyone who watched the video was relieved that the shark didn’t eat anyone and we got a wonderful footage to watch.
