yea true Scbuababe20 but there are good wreck discovery/dive accident videos and stories on the net too. My favourite site is the myscubastory site. They have tonnes of real life dive stories and videos. Type myscubastory into google and its the first result
they are soo neat i just found out they existed when i read a story bout how a diver almost got sucked in its mouth when it was eating haha id be terrified if i saw one though haha i loved the ending of your vid it was cute
Did anyone else notice those ridges or channels on the lower portion of the left side of the tail? Would anyone be able to tell me what they might be?
@SoulReaperSlayer19 How smart of 'god'! :-) He must have worked a lot to figure it out. "oh I made small fish, now I make bigger! HAHA! I'm so smart!"
Holy smokes! ...Spectacular capture! ...that's solid evidence of gentleness in the shark species...congrats to the divers it must be an experience of a lifetime
thanks for sharing
some interesting flipper work ...some quite effective too
nice that is about as big as a whale shark can get. plus this one is unusually stout i suspect this female pregnant too: she have a suspisious hump in front of her anal fins.... really cool anyway hope i see one that big too one day!
It's massive but it's gorgeous. If it weren't a filter feeder, it'd still be gorgeous but more to be keep a large distance from myself. It's like an under water angel, I'd love to see one wild before I die :)
if your wondering how big this thing is, just picture an 18 wheeler trailer, its "about" that length, imagine swimming next to something that incredibly big
i dare 1 of the diver to go in the mouth ey..lots of this whale in philippines..i dunno nothing bout them..but i think its the water there that they like
wow thats an amazing animal, the other day diving at fujeirah (martini rock) i saw one, we followed it for awhile at the surface, it was no where near that big though, ours was only 5m that animal is amazing though. so gentle too, amazing how the largest creatures on our planet seem to be the most gentle
Taken by "two" experience dive masters from 1 up & 1 down position in the Galapagos. They stitched the footage from both angles. Almost a guarantee to see them during whaleshark season between July - Sept. 2 liveaboard dive boats - Aggressor & Sky Dancer go there.

WOW! Is truly all I can say. I am going to the Galapagos from November to December, although, I a only have snorkeling gear. I really with I had some scuba diving equipment now. The whale shark is truly a magnificent creature.

The whale sharks are migrating vast distances for food and as a result criss-cross shipping routes so it is very rare to see a 45ft.
