View Full Version : WHALE SHARK Palm Beach
Shcubasteve June 26th, 2011, 11:57 PM Unbelievable!! What a majestic creature! Had a chance to swim with a whale shark for almost an hour today South of Palm Beach Inlet. Once-in-a-lifetime for sure. I got photos of my entire open water class with/ near the shark. blackvans1234 June 27th, 2011, 03:55 AM Wow! How close were you to shore? or were you not? jet126 June 27th, 2011, 06:33 AM That's amazing! Beautiful for you and a whale shark for OW students?!? They are spoiled for life. ;) It appears so comfortable around you. I wonder if it's the same one those guys saw off Sarasota last week. (thread a couple pages back) I have no idea how far these animals can travel in a few days but it seems crazy that there are two friendly whale sharks in Florida waters. danvolker June 27th, 2011, 07:00 AM Unbelievable!!

I plan to come by the shop while there to get some info diving with y'all next time I'm in town. bilsant June 27th, 2011, 02:07 PM Congrats on a wonderful experience. mselenaous June 27th, 2011, 02:18 PM Awesome! What could top that for your first dives! Thanks for sharing the pics, Steve. showboat June 27th, 2011, 06:35 PM Sweet.. I wanna dive with one.... Splitlip June 27th, 2011, 06:50 PM Beyond awesome. Gonna be tough for your students to top that during future trips. Your future classes are going to be asking "where's our's?" Shcubasteve June 27th, 2011, 11:06 PM Video Clips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj934HL2vs8) from the other day. mntlblok June 28th, 2011, 11:00 AM Dang! That is *so* cool! Did you get a sense of whether the shark even noticed that you guys were there? Kevin sportxlh June 29th, 2011, 09:38 PM That is beyond cool!! While watching the youtube video, I noticed the dolphin video from a few months ago. You've had some pretty interesting free dive expereiences. Thanks for posting the pics and video link Ozwald June 29th, 2011, 09:48 PM No words..... danvolker June 30th, 2011, 11:09 AM Here is a video I just got from my friend Jim Abernethy, of the whaleshark ....it was actually hanging out with over a dozen divers for over an hour! This was shot by a member of jimmy's crew, Lindsay ballard. http://youtu.be/R20SBQmPN6g Scott L June 30th, 2011, 11:16 AM That was a lot of interacting. Is it possible to drown the thing? :D Splitlip June 30th, 2011, 12:38 PM Here is a video I just got from my friend Jim Abernethy, of the whaleshark ....it was actually hanging out with over a dozen divers for over an hour!
