A diver had an amazing 'all too close' encounter with a huge humpback whale after it surfaced just yards from him in search of an easy meal.

Dan Senior was filming orca in Norway's Arctic region when the killer whales rounded up a huge bait ball of small fish - with the group of divers - inadvertently in the middle.

The humpback surged towards them with its huge mouth gaping wide open before it scooped up the small fry and headed back down into the deep.
