John Rutherford got the chance to swim with the reptile after his nephew Cameron De Jong treated him to the dive.

After being put into the Cage of Death in Australia's Crocosaurus Cove, he was lowered into the water and although he seemed to love the experience, his nephew noticed his uncle's private parts had popped out from his swimsuit.

Cameron told NT News: ''I got out the phone to get some photos and he started kicking his legs and I could see his bloody nuts.

After trying to get his uncle's attention, Cameron decided to take photos of the hilarious moment but it was when a little girl approached the tank that Cameron got concerned.

He said: ''She walked up and said 'hey, come and look at the big croc and that man in the cage' and I thought 'do I quickly say I probably wouldn't come over here?'

''His belly was right up against the glass and then the croc moved its tail and made my uncle a bit more visible in the cage.

''I could pick the moment she saw them because she said 'oh darling, let's go look at a different croc'.''
