A group of shark cage divers in South Africa got more of an up-close-and-personal experience than they were banking on.

A great white shark decided to take the cage containing the divers on in Gansabaai.

Thankfully, the endangered creature, which can swim at up to 56km/h, was too big to fit through the small viewing slot.

Watch the video of the close call.
