Our first whale shark was about 5m long and quite rotund. He hung out just inches under the surface, every now and then his dorsal or tip of his tail just peeked out above the water. We swam and swam on multiple drops with him before moving to our second shark.
Whale shark #2 today was also a good sized one and teased us by not swimming in a straight line. He was also doing a little bit of feeding, his mouth opening wide as he swam along skimming the surface. He also seemed to like to dive down a few meters, then glide right back up - it was pretty neat as we could really see his tail work and the rays of light scattering across his back was simply beautiful.
The swell and wind were up a little bit today so we didn't do the scuba dive on the reef, but we were able to stop at an amazing reef snorkel site: cowtail & blue spotted stingrays, anemonefish, small reef sharks, parrotfish, schools of small trevally...it was a perfect way to end the day!
