Sputnik - A large great white shark made a huge leap just meters from a tourist boat off the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.

Last week, tour guide Andrew Wright of Calypso Charters was reeling in the waters off Port Lincoln when a shark emerged from the water with an impressive leap.

The tourists, who were apparently on an excursion, were astonished by the unexpected appearance and acrobatics of the wild animal just a few meters from the boat.

"There was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm, everyone was certainly impressed," Wright told Nine News.

 He also added that the appearance of a large shark so close was a rare sighting.

"Seeing them jump out of the water like that, particularly at such a short distance, is certainly not a normal occurrence," he stated.
