    So, a great white shark, one of the largest sharks in the world, wasย seenย emerging from the water and launching itself into the air. But this wasnโ€™t an ordinary leap because it managed to get itself 15 feet (4.57 meters) above water.

    In context, according toย Sharks World, a typical shark will jump up to 8-10 feet (2.4โ€“3 meters) above water. For this reason, seeing a shark soar another 5 feet above this mark makes a record-breaking breach.

    Jacob’s Well is a deep spring water swimming hole in Wimberley, Texas. A popular place to get away and cool off in 68 degrees water to swim, hang out, cliff jump, and my favorite free diving! Was shot in several trips there from 2014-2016.
