Have the Thrill In Diving and Sharing The Sea Along With the Gentle Giants

The whale shark is long known to men as the largest fish that exists in the world today and you will easily be able to recognize one when you see one.
They have very thick skin that is colored a two-tone shade, with both lines and spots on them. The Whale shark may actually swim at depths that are around 400 feet.

Whale Sharks are among the gentlest giants in the world. Much more similar to a whale than they are to a shark, that is the reason why the whale shark diving experience is the most sought-after adventure vacations that a lot of people say they would like to have. The moment you dive with the gentle giants, you will come to understand the reason why. The experience is really difficult to explain right up until you have truly taken part in it.

The largest actual fish in the sea are the Whale Sharks. They are cold-blooded, and are cartilaginous, like any other fish. The Whale Shark breathes by means of a set of gills instead of through lungs.

The main difference is the fact that it has a behavior and size that is much more similar of whales.Not like whales, the Whale Shark possesses a vertical tail that goes sideways to propel it, instead of up and down like whales do.

The whale sharks can weigh in at more than 9 tons and can grow up at approximately 36 feet long or even longer.The size of the Whale Shark can seem to be somewhat daunting right up until you have definitely came across it up close and personally, as you will during whale shark diving.



Whale Shark diving is comes first in the "to do" list of diving experiences of nearly every avid divers. The reason is not only the immense size but also the remarkably friendly behavior that most whale sharks will show to humans if they aren't overly aggressive. They tend to be far more like a very large dolphin in their trusting behavior when swimming among people.

The whale shark is quite a remarkable fellow, very trusting of humanity and very ardently trying to avoid a confrontation with anything at all. The size may make him well capable to protect himself, however the truth is that the whale sharks would certainly far rather merely swim away.




Any type of behavior that they see as aggressive toward them will quite likely result in your being left on your own. Swimming rapidly after a whale shark, reaching out to touch them or grasp at their tails will send them away in a relatively short time.

By swimming in just a passive way will guarantee that your whale shark diving experience is as long as possible and this will keep the whale shark with you for a long duration of time. For the experience of a lifetime, whale shark diving is something that you must experience. Just the very thought of it captures both the senses and the imagination.
