Whale Sharks




This past Saturday David and I were invited to go on a whale shark dive with one of his friends from Colorado, Jon. Although it was a little expensive David and I decided it was one of those once in a life time opportunity. It was amazing. We took about a five minute boat ride straight off of the coast. There is a very large net where the two whale sharks are kept. It serves as a research facility. They help pay for it by charging for the dives.
The whale sharks move like typical sharks but they only eat plankton. =) So I felt pretty safe. They were kind a like large cows, but more graceful. I would highly recommend this to anyone if they have a chance.
