HORRIFYING footage shows the shocking moment a woman narrowly misses diving straight into the mouth of a hungry tiger shark.
The terrifying video shows the diver, Ocean Ramsey, getting ready to jump into the water off the coast of Hawaii, unaware the predator is lurking near the boat.
The experienced diver can be seen checking the water using her mask first quickly backing up after spotting the shark.
She is able to get back on the boat as the shark opens its mouth ready to bite.
The tiger shark, named Queen Nikki almost touches the woman's flippers before slowly swimming away.
The incredible footage was shared on Ocean's Instagram where the free diver often shares jaw-dropping encounters with sharks.
The caption reads: "We love Tiger shark Queen Nikki’s enthusiasm to greet @oceanramsey.
"Ocean reading an approach quickly and accurately knowing when to respectfully back up.
"@oneoceandiving the safety diver is always the first person in the water and the last person out and the one responsible for respectfully evaluating the sharks behavior before inviting others into the water. "
The post adds that the scary interaction left the diver " laughing more than surprised."
In a similar incident, terrifying footage showed a man scrambling to get back on a boat after he is narrowly missed by a shark.
While in another clip, a massive 12ft tiger shark can be seen swimming directly under a surfer.
Tiger sharks, often found in the waters of the Pacific, are usually between 10ft and 13ft but can reach 16ft in length.
They are known to have the widest food spectrum of all sharks, including dolphins and even other smaller sharks.
While they are second only to the great white in recorded fatal attacks on humans, the attacks are rare.
Tiger sharks are considered a near-threatened species because of finning and fishing by humans.
