Roberta Mancino Bikini Dives with, and Dodges, the World's Fastest Fish (EpicTV)

It takes a brave model to hold a pose when an enormous whale shark is swimming just inches from her head. But for Roberta Mancino, it's just another day in the office.

The model, who is also a professional skydiver and wing-suit flyer, spent 20 days swimming in waters near Isla Mujeres in search of giant sea creatures - including the sailfish, the world's fastest fish.

She had to spend hours in the water, holding her breath for up to a minute at a time, while being filmed by Emmy Award-winning cinematographer and photographer Shawn Heinrichs.

The shoot was part of a broader series depicting marine life interactions that inspire ocean conservation.

Speaking about the experience, Roberta said: 'It has always been one of my dreams to swim with the fastest fish in the ocean and to see how they hunt it's really exciting - eventually I would love to swim with all the coolest underwater creatures.
