Close encounter
My wife Merrin tried her best to get out of the way of this amazing animal.
Not so easy some times. They tell you at a briefing to stay 4 meters clear of the sharks, obviously they don't tell the shark.
There are a lot of different opinions on the practice of swimming with them.
I can see both sides of the argument, it is quite a circus in Oslob (though we were there on a quiet day) and some people don't follow the rules.
I like to think that people will be more protective of them after the incredible experience of swimming with these magnificent creatures.
Not so sure.
Here is a link which states both sides : en.rocketnews24.com/2016/03/04/should-you-swim-with-whale...
And: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_shark
Here something close to my heart! : www.rappler.com/corruption/65702-shark-tales-shark-week
They so need our protection!!! I hope many people will read this.
Tanks for looking.
Press Z for full viewing.
