Three men on a fishing trip were treated to the sight of their life earlier this month when a blue shark circled their boat giving them ample time to film it.

Jonathan Cassar, who filmed the shark said the group were amused by the its beauty.

"It had always been one of my wishes to see a shark... I went down on the boat's platform to film it and at one point it tried to snatch the camera. We continued throwing mackerel so that it stayed close to our boat so we could continue admiring it."
