This video, courtesy of 15-ORAC-19 07.06.19, pretty much speaks for itself.
It shows a huge killer whale getting up close and personal with a lucky diver.
Wildlife photographer Olly Scholey, from Bristol, UK, was diving with his camera in the waters off the Island of Pico, in the Azores, when he experienced a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
A juvenile killer whale from a larger pod that Olly was filming swam fast towards the photographer and around him, all the while making impressively loud calls.
The video was filmed by Olly’s technical assistant Matt Mullett, 36, who said: “The orca was part of a larger pod of approximately seven animals."
