In 2013, a team of shark researchers encountered an unusually massive female great white shark off Guadalupe, dubbed Deep Blue. Marine biologist Mauricio Hoyos and his colleagues used photogrammetry to estimate her size at nearly 10 feet wide and over 20 feet long—about the length of a school bus and comparable to the size of their research boat, far exceeding typical great‑white dimensions (males up to 13 ft, females up to 16 ft). The team quickly tagged the shark and tracked her movements for 24 hours before she vanished back into the deep, leaving only a brief data record. Deep Blue’s extraordinary size captured public attention and remains an unsolved mystery in marine science.

In 2013, a team of shark researchers encountered a great white unlike any they'd ever seen before.
It is the biggest shark that we have recorded. It was the same size of my boat.
The mammoth shark emerged from the depths and came face to face with marine biologist Mauricio Hoyos. Using photogrammetry, scientists estimated this female to be nearly 10 feet feet wide and over 20 feet long.
Put that in perspective, that's basically the size of a school bus.
Where has she been lurking?
Deep Blue is the biggest unsolved mystery at Guadalupe.
And just how did she get so big? Male great whites rarely grow more than 13 feet long. And even the largest females often max out at 16 feet, making Deep Blue a deep-sea giant.
Wow, we got a really big shark around the boat. So we're anxious to get a tag in this one, really anxious.
Shortly after her discovery, she surfaced again.
Got her! Game on!
And was tagged and tracked for 24 hours before retreating back into the depths. Then her trail went cold. Cold. But her sheer size captured the public's attention.
