As if bringing us footage of six-metre great white "Deep Blue" wasn't enough, marine biologist Mauricio Hoyos Padilla is back with another shark-filled clip! The incredible video was shot near Colombia's Malpelo Island, at a dive site aptly known as "El Acuario", or "The Aquarium".

Most of the animals you see here are silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis), but if you look closely, you might spot one of several scalloped hammerheads (Sphyrna lewini).

With hundreds of angels flying around."
