This is me swimming with a whale shark in Cebu City, Philippines. It was really a great adventure. At first, I was really hesitant in making this trip since I have read that this kind of stuff destroys the natural habitat of these gentle giants. I'm sorry for this but I really enjoyed this moment. How about you guys, any recent trips you enjoyed the most? Have a great day.

@bluestrike You didn't know there was shark where you were swimming? I thought you did it on purpose.

@BabeSays I know it. It's actually part of the activity/tour. I didn't notice the small fish in its belly at first I should say.

I didn't see that before. I think it is a fish. I was really scared at first especially if they open their mouth. It's as if I'll be eaten alive. But they really are gentle giants. Thank you

@debjani1 Nope. They are busy eating fishes. They are being fed by fishermen during this time. They are really safe. You should try it.

They are gentle giants indeed. There's a rule that one should be 3 ft away from them for their own protection.thank u
