A great white shark tagged off of New Zealand was recorded to have reached a depth of 1,200m.

According to New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, a 4.8m great white shark nicknamed “Shack” has set the deepest dive ever recorded by a great white shark at 1,200m. NIWA scientist, Malcolm Franics, said the shark made several other dives between the 1,000m and 1,200m mark. The previous depth record for a great white shark was 1,000m. “Shack” is one of 25 great white sharks tagged by NIWA over a five-year period. Data from the tagging program has also revealed information about migration patterns and white shark populations in New Zealand and Australian waters.
