whale shark under boat II

this young boy of 3-4 meters was very friendly. we didn't have to find it, it found us and swam under and around the boat for 20 minutes. this gave our skipper justin his first chance to swim with a whale shark. he didn't even need to put his fins on.


to find out the sex of the whale shark i had to duck dive right next to it. usually whale sharks bank or turn their back towards you for defence if you come to close. this shark didn't bother at all, it even turned its belly towards me.
