It was such a awesome sight to see and swim with I believe it was a him. He circled the boat for like a half hour giving us all a chance to make drops and cruise and piggyback a ride. I’ll try post the video of the encounter. And if I plan on coming to Hawaii plan to come to Kauai, and we can go dive for sure.
Mahalo(thank u) @TW Merema for reading my story I know it was a little long, I tried to keep it short, but just had so much to say about a EPIC day. I’m very glad that u enjoyed it and the pics. ALOHA
Aloha and mahalo(thank u) @haknslash and u should plan a trip here.So Awesome and thanks for sharing!! I’d love to visit Hawaii in my lifetime. Loved the pics especially the whale shark.
. We dove in Hawaii (Big Island) and came across a 12-14ft. Tiger Shark. That's been our highlight of diving date.
Aloha @Steve Risley I live on the Island Kauai on the other end of the State. The Big Island has awesome diving, in fact the whole State does lol. Glad u were able to swim with a Tiger, I’ve seen some big ones here too, but not as big as this Whale SharkTotally Awesome! Being a diver myself, jealous of the Whale Shark picture
he was a beautiful beast.
This second clip is unreal!Aloha here’s some short vids of the encounter. Hope u enjoy
Yeah the second clip my friend came over last night and gave it to me. That was of him shooting me on the Whale Shark. So cool I love it. And as for u and ur Ohana(family) coming to HAWAII, do it u have the Hawaiian connection now haha lol.
Aloha @jfkraus, mahalo(thank u) and that sounds great. I bet he must wear a 7mm suit, water must be really cold. If u take him please post it up would love to read and see pics. Yamaha’s make for a really great dive platform.
Aloha and mahalo(thank u) @nesnah2, glad that u enjoyed it.Great post and awesome pics!! The whale shark pics are amazing!!
Aloha @Captain Obvious, mahalo(thank u) it was a WOW moment for sure. As for swimming with the Whale Shark, after we assessed the situation by observing it behavior and body gestures. We came to the conclusion that he was comfortable with us and wanted to interact. Then and only then we started making drops to him, always keeping body motions and interaction smooth and steady. Not wanting to spook or provoke the HUGE animal. It was truly amazing and a Blessing to be able to do so.
Aloha and Mahalo nui loa(thank u very much) @MrMoose, I take that to heart Mahalo(thank u). I just wanted to share one of the most epic days out on the water for me. One that I will remember for the rest of my life.
Last night, we booked a trip to Maui. This will be our second trip to HI but my first since getting PADI certified. I'm stoked!Aloha @Captain Obvious, mahalo(thank u) it was a WOW moment for sure.
