How fast can a great white’s tail propel it through the water?

Great whites are torpedo-shaped with powerful tails that can propel them through the water at up to 15 miles per hour.

The great white shark can dive to the depth of 1, 200 m (3, 900 ft) in the ocean spending most of their lives that deep in the ocean. That is the average depth of the Atlantic Ocean.

Great white sharks are built for survival and kill which means they would do anything to achieve this. They stay underneath and hunt prey from that depth of the ocean sneaking up on their prey.

Deep diving exposes sharks to colder water so they would be having a good reason before they would be going that deep. Great white sharks are warm-blooded, to be able to digest food their temperature would have to be above that of the ocean. 

Human divers begin to experience twice the pressure they felt because of the air on the surface when they dive up to 10 meters of the ocean. At 10 meters depth, the ocean already absorbs 80% sunlight.
