We came across a school of whale sharks on Sunday on the Iron Reef, Seana's Rig, about 17 miles offshore. I jumped in the water and shot some video (link to youtube)of two of them and when I turned around to go back to the boat found three more. Some divers in another location on the rig were following 3 others including a calf which was said to be 6 feet. In all I would estimate there were anywhere from 10 to 20 sharks.
