He was working on the show, 'Air Jaws: Ultimate Breach', where experts compete and capture the best shark-breaching moments when he was lucky enough to capture this incredible moment.

The great white shark in the photo managed to leap a massive 4.57 meters into the air.

To put this into perspective: sharks usually only jump between 2.4-3 meters above the water.
