Rob: I have had 2 friends Martin and Mark doing 3 days of fun diving. The day they decided to take a break and relax by the pool (which I was lucky enough to Enjoy also ) was the day I get a text message saying Whale Shark Koh Ha!. We all couldn’t believe how unlucky we where to choose this day off.

We where very happy tho for Tom and Chompoo who had just completed the Open Water Course and on there 5th Dive where lucky enough to witness the Whale Shark which was said to be around 4 meters long. ( Life really is not fair )

The next day the boat was heading to the same dive site Koh Ha but this time we where all aboard including my other friend Penny.

Obviously we decided to drop in the same area where everyone saw the Whale Shark the day before. Could we have the same luck?

With in 10 minutes of the dive we where all gobsmacked! as this impressive creature came swimming around. How great to see it but also how great to dive with 3 of your closest friends who had never witnessed one before. The Shark swam past us all a couple of times and we maybe got to experience its grace for 15 minutes.

The Whale Shark was around 4 meters long. All though it was still pretty small in comparison to an adult it was still very big and long compared to me. I can’t believe the adrenalin rush you get when diving next to one. My air was sucked dry in 45 minutes.

On the 2nd dive of the day we dived in the same area of Koh Ha. I was with Vera the boat manager. As we came round a corner my big screams and tank banger alerted him to another Whale Shark. This one how ever was not staying around and in the video you will see Vera swimming frantically to keep up in the current.
