Default Whale Shark Pictures!!

Well my wife and I just got back from a big family vacation to Mexico. While we were down there we were able to go on a tour where we swam with Whale Sharks in the ocean. Just thought I would share a few photos of these amazing sharks with you.





















Just so you know the guides that we were with said that this was one of the biggest Sharks that they have swam with. They figured it to be about 30-35 feet long.

Anybody going down to Cancun, I would strongly suggest this tour. It was an experience of a lifetime.

Very cool! However I'm not sure I'd be that brave to swim by something that big!

Awesome. One of the things on my bucket list! I'm jealous beyond words.

Reminds me of diving with manta rays...they are attracted to the plankton so you either get clear water or mantas... take your pick!

Wow, really cool.

Just curious though, do you hear cheesy new-age synthy music when you swim with them? Because you never see them on any documentary without the soundtrack.

Seriously, that's very cool and man yeah that is hella awesome you got to see them in person. That's wild beyond words.
