Whale Shark swim at Atlanta Aquarium March 2nd 2011.

My wife and her sister swim with the Whale Sharks at Atlanta Aquarium on March 2, 2011. They got a thrill when one of the Whale Sharks became especially playful doing 360 turns to stay with the swimmers when they normally just swim by. I on the other hand after being topside of the largest aquarium in the world and shooting them entering the water, watched from behind 2 foot thick plexi windows while they froliced with the sharks, Whale Sharks, Guitarfish, Hammerhead Shark, Tiger Shark, Zebra Shark, Large toothed Sawfish, rays and other, varieties of fish. Video ends when back topside following the swim I shoot them exiting the aquarium and one of the Whale Sharks swims by the edge of the tank at my feet.

Great behind the scene video. This was the best experience and unexpected interaction. The whale sharks enjoyed their enrichment! Thanks, honey!!!! Note: we are at the end of the group, but were divided by three whale sharks. We managed to get together at the end, holding hands and swimming back to the dock. We plan to dive next year, I got my clearance today from the doctor!!!!!
