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.

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.

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.
To each his own.

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 experience

Absolutely loved it! This is what retirement in Baja is all about. This video defines it to perfection!

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?
