Orca Divers from Chortlon, Manchester took a trip down to Cornwall with the sole purpose of snorkelling with the visiting Basking Sharks. We weren't disappointed! It's fair to say we had extremely close encounters all day long. We emerged from the water feeling very privileged. They are such huge, graceful and incredible sharks; quite a sight to behold.

@OceansElwell Erm... we were in the water with them for 4 hours. Not much manly artefacts left on any man who needs to enforce 'manly' status by doing that in skins. Also, I did it in a wetsuit which makes me marginally more manly. ;)
