Footage of a pair of divers encountering a group of nurse sharks resting on the sea bed in a cave off the coast of Jamaica.

The video shows the brave men getting very close to the large sharks, at one stage even lying down next to one.

The filmer later wrote online: "I found an opening in the reef, swam inside, and laid down next to the sharks.

"It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, but capturing this up close footage that allows me to relive the moment and share it with the world takes it to an even higher level."

My brother and I found a few Nurse Sharks resting in a cave while we were scuba diving in Negril, Jamaica. I found an opening in the reef, swam inside, and laid down next to the sharks. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, but capturing this up close footage that allows me to relive the moment and share it with the world takes it to an even higher level.
