Make sure you book more than a whale shark dives for the season as it usually takes more than one try before you actually see one.

The encounter:

Divers can certify innumerable peaceful whale shark encounters. These sharks feed (by a filtration process) from the eggs produced by the fish during spawning. Sharks are often curious and can swim within a few meters of the divers to satisfy their own curiosity, but soon slide away.

According to the law, it is illegal to touch marine life in these waters, which is why whale shark diving groups are kept to a minimum and for certain hours of the day.
