samanthabarks: I’ve just had one of the most incredible experiences of my life, I went swimming with a whale shark!! I have to admit I was terrified at first, even knowing these lovely creatures only eat plankton, the idea of swimming with such a huge animal made me a bit scared to even jump in the water. Once I took the plunge and quickly found myself less than a meter away from her, a calm washed over me. She was so friendly and almost seemed to enjoy interacting with people (maybe she just liked the bubbles ). It was just so sweet the way she stayed with everyone, she was very gracious with all the attention!! Thank you so much to the boat crew, especially Ibrahim who held my hand in the water from start to finish making me so much calmer! Thanks @mirihi_island_resort for the the tour, the day of sailing Mirihi Thari (such a gorgeous yacht) and the amazing picnic. Truly an incredible once in a lifetime experience! #gift #maldives #whaleshark #boat #asuniqueasyou -- source link
