ISLAMORADA (CBSMiami) -- Snorkelers got a great white surprise over the weekend as they were greeted by a large shark off the Florida Keys.

Video taken by a group on a snorkeling excursion Saturday near Alligator Reef shows the menacing great white shark circle the boat.

The ship's captain said his guests were foreign exchange students "hoping for sea turtles, sting rays and other sorts of tropical reef fish" -- but did not expect to see the 10- to 12-foot shark.
