RE: Swimming With Whale Sharks In The Yucatan Peninsula - The Sleepy Fishing Village Of Holbox Mexico
I've spent some time with whale sharks and they are magnificent creatures. I swam with one shark for 45 minutes straight and it felt like we were one.
Great post, thanks for sharing.
It's an amazing experience, right? Thanks for reading.
It's an experience that everyone should do at least once. I'm a diver but I've only snorkelled with them which in some respects is better.
On my 45m encounter I spent a lot of time swimming at eye level with the shark (eye to eye) and I swapped sides by diving under him while looking up at his belly and coming up on his other side and repeating the process. It felt so natural and beautiful.
I love the water (and nature) and it was one of the best, if not the best experience that I have ever had.
I snorkelled with them too, just as you described.
