Whale Sharks: The Gentle Giants Of The Sea | The Blue Realm | Real Wild

[@SameerPrehistorica]

The people who came back to the boat after swimming with the Whale shark said it was amazing, fantastic, it was the best experience of their life etc. Certainly it's a once in a lifetime experience when you get close to a giant animal, it is something extraordinary.

[@Wolfsbane909]

And they have no teeth, so what's the harm really? Unless it swallows you whole but that's not likely to happen

[@ant-man9018]

​@@Wolfsbane909they can't swallow you either. Their throat is just the size of a coin. Most you'd be doing is sit in their mouth which I highly doubt is happening.

I just did it a week a go in mexico an yes it’s amazing

[@SamTheMan]

I met one of these monsters in the Red Sea. I was around 16-17m down and a shadow was above me... I didn't understand, since clouds in the sky don't occur at that time of year!!! I looked up and shrieked like a little girl when I saw a fish the size of a 14 wheeler!!! My dive buddy teased me in front of all the ladies, for the entire season!!! The other team we were with used me as 'status' since we had been so close to such an event. It was one of a dozen magnificent diving experiences, I will never forget!!!

Remoras and Pilot fish. The former are the little hitchhikers you're asking about.
