Whale Shark Stalking West Palm?

[rjnjupiter]

News flash!!!! We were out today and the radio was alive with several boats encounering a Whale Shark at the same location we saw ours last week. Do you think it is the same one? Fits the description. Anybody got a report from Sandy Sunday or Wetter the Better from today?

That would be exciting if there were more opportunities to see it! Like so many others, I took a trip to see my first whale shark. Would be nice to have an encounter here in our "backyard"...

Maybe we'll have to go whale shark "hunting" as soon as the doc clears me to dive again! :cool2:

I can officially swim again as of this week, so hopefully SOON!

Man was I ever born in the wrong place ....no whale sharks for me. I loved the previous video posted so any others would be welcomed....I will live vicariously

Is the Governor's Walk done as a drift dive or wreck dive? Every time I've been near Governor's Walk there are several fishing boats in the area. What's the protocol?

Hello, this is Sandy of "Sandy's Sunday" we had a great time with the Whale Shark on Wednesday afternoon. We found him on the Governor's Walk and this is the third time in recent years that we've seen one here. He was very, very friendly and stayed on the surface with us for about 30 minutes, then after a breif swim down to the wrecks, he'd come back up. We even got our gear on and four of us spent 30 minutes on the Shasha with him. What a thrill, this huge 18-20 ft Whale Shark swam along with us just as if he was our dive buddy. Great diving in WPB and we are hoping to see more...keeping our fingers crossed.

That's awesome. I'll be out tomorrow diving a little further north but I may swing by there for a look.
I'm going to charge the batteries and get the camera ready just in case.

We've got them showing up off Captiva again as well, there was video posted on the News-Press.com last week from some local Spearos encountering them.
