In the video from Guadalupe Island, Mexico, you can see a diver in the cage as the great white swims up to him.  He then gives the shark a "high five" by touching one of its fins.

Since the video was posted to Mauricio Hoyos Padilla's Facebook page Tuesday, it has received nearly three million shares.

National Geographic said that great whites usually grow to 15 feet long and usually weigh about 5,000 pounds.
