Swimming With WHALE SHARKS!

Wow well it was an unforgettable experience. On friday morning we were at the jetty by 7:45am. By 8:00 we had been on a smaller boat that took us out to our boat that we would go to see the whale sharks on. When got about 700m away from shore we snorkled on the reef I was a little unsure at first but the I realised that instead of thinking about the bad things in the water I  thought I should look at the beautiful Marine Park. At 10:00 the spotter plane went up and that's when the fun started. When we found our first whale shark the water was too choppy to see the shark so we got back on the boat. The next time we had a bit more luck. When we got in the water the guide told us where the whale shark was and there it was right next to us. I was a bit frightened to see it right there. After we swam with it we got on the boat a bit over whelmed. We swam with four sharks and were wowed by the experience. Then we snorkled on the reef one last time. It was amazing.

  4. Wow, what an experience. Guess your Exmouth whaleshark beats my SWR wobbygong. I am so totally jealous of you all. Mallee, loved the picture of you diving to the bottom and Jarrah, were you captain of the vessel?
