butanding - the gentle whale shark(12 may 10)

advices
1. jolee resort not bad to put up
2. wait in the registration office early, before 7am
3. buy a transparanet, water-proof camera bag for underwater photgraphy
4. timing is everything - be prepared to equip yourself with snorkles and flippers, and life jacket. jump when you are told by the BIO
5. put on life jacket if you are a non-swimmer or not a good swimmer.
6. if you are too tired(especially if held on by the BIO but cannot keep up with him), tell the BIO to let go and relax.... DON'T PANIC when you are in the water.
7. not every time you are in the water, you will see the shark, because you may be heading the rong direction, or may not be fast enough to head to the right place. but with the help of the BIO holding your hand, pulling you along to the right spot, you should see the gentle giant with no problem.
8. good to have another BIO for an extra fee, he can help to take underwater pictures, videos and help you and your mates to see the shark.
9. don't touch the shark, it's skin is not as smooth as you think.
10. MUST go donsol, and sign up to it.
