But a wildlife centre in Australia is offering punters the chance to do just that -- with nothing more than a plastic shell to protect them.

Visitors can climb into a clear plastic shell which is then winched into the water just INCHES from the huge beasts.

And if that wasn't scary enough, keepers can time the crocs' feeding schedules to allow guests to join them for dinner.

“Every dive includes 15 minutes in the enclosure with one of these massive reptiles.

“Regular feeding by our crocodile handlers when people are inside the cage encourages more movement from the crocodiles and ensures an up close and personal, face-to-face encounter that must be seen to be believed.”
