This shark, there were at least a dozen of about the same size, was about 30 feet (10m) long. Huge fish! Thank you for taking a look at the blog and commenting!
You ain’t kidding! 😉 The mouth is big enough to swallow a man whole. Thank god these fish are filter feeders and not interested in people as food. Actually I was more afraid of hurting them than of the whale sharks hurting me. Swimmers were asked to not come within 5 meters but that was impossible as we had little maneuverabilityy compared to the sharks that came swimming by looking for their food.
Thee were a dozen or more whale sharks that came swimming through. A boat was chumming with tiny shrimp to attract them. I was glad to get back on the boat after about 20 min. because staying afloat and swimming a bit without fins was exhausting.

I saw no other fish around the sharks. Visibility underwater was around 30′ – 40′ not much more than the length of these fish.

My adrenaline was definitely pumping. The whale sharks were very calm and paid no attention to the humans.
