Bob asnd Susan;
Great work and Photos!! Best I have seen in several Years.
Be Carefull through some of those "Species" Nuts will try to say you are treating the Whale Sharks badly!!805gregg - 6-9-2011 at 05:51 PM
That shark took off after she touched it, did you get the message? That was a baby they get over 50' and live over 60 years, if they are left alone.Marc - 6-9-2011 at 06:47 PM

I have swam with them and touched them and they didn't seem to mind. After a while they will dive and it's over. I really don't think I have shortened
the creature's life. See Skeet's post.Diver - 6-9-2011 at 07:19 PM

You are relying on Skeet for credibility ?
From what I saw, if they had the motor up they must have been kicking their feet really fast to catch and run over the whale.

FYI, There is a Fuji XP20 waterproof camera at Costco for $40 off until7/3. So that makes it under $130. I think it can go 5 meters under water.
Cool video, I would really like to see one of those up close and personal like that. What a great experienceBob H - 6-10-2011 at 03:55 AM

Absolutely loved it! This is what retirement in Baja is all about. This video defines it to perfection!gallesram - 6-13-2011 at 04:03 PM
We saw 4 whale sharks in Playa Santa Barabara last month; it was incredible. 2 people in our party did get in the water but didn't touch the shark;
just swam next to him, which didn't seem to bother him. I was concerned about people get whacked with his tail so we kept a good distance. Like any
wild animal, I think it's a good idea to maintain a respectful boundary. After all, this is his home, not ours; important to be good neighbors,
right?
