Floating beside the huge croc. IS THIS photographer brave or stupid after shocking photos and video footage captured him swimming alongside a nine-foot-long American crocodile? The incredible images show the diver swimming within a few feet of the 500lb predator, its huge teeth up close and personal and it grins for the camera and a look into its beady eye. The crazy clip shows the photographer and friends perilously close to the croc as they swim together in the open ocean. The remarkable encounter was captured in Jardines de la Reina, Cuba by apparel company owner Eldad Choen (42) from Los Angeles, USA, who wanted to do something unique for his birthday. Eldad Cohen /
