Two kayakers had a "surreal" encounter with a shark off the coast of west Cork in Ireland, with the animals swimming right under their kayaks.
Louise Barker captured the meeting on video and is heard gasping as the basking shark swims towards her and a fin brushes right alongside her kayak.
Ms Barker, a publicist and music manager, said: “It was a pretty surreal experience having this curious guy pop up next to us. Such a gentle giant.”
