00:00Hi, I'm Toby and we're going to see that thing over there today, please come and join us.
00:07Hi, I'm Farfan and we're going to swim with the whale sharks.
00:11It's kind of scary also and I'm not sure if I'm going to die.
00:30Okay, we're geared up for the boat trip in search of the biggest fish, biggest fish in
00:57the world right here in Don Sol Sosugon and that's my naughty boy, Toton.
01:03We're with our boatman, botanding information officer, si kuya.
01:10Yeah, and that's where we're going, the vast sea near Don Sol.
01:17Number one rule is don't touch the whale shark.
01:24Number two, don't restrict the movement of the whale shark or impede its natural path
01:29or get in the way of its path.
01:32Number three is the recommended distance from whale shark is three meters from the tail
01:39and no flash photography is allowed.
01:42There are no scuba scooters, jet skis or any motorized underwater propulsion.
01:50Well, these guys, these sharks, whale sharks are big but despite their humongous mouths
01:57and thousands of teeth, whale sharks pose no risk to humans.
02:02With a diet limited to tiny microorganisms, you're definitely not going to be on the menu.
02:10Plus, with an average swim speed of three miles per hour, they're quite accustomed to
02:17swimming alongside humans.
02:19These gentle giants are quite docile creatures.
02:24They're really gentle in the real sense of the word.
02:38That was super amazing.
02:40It was as big as a scuba.
02:42I hope someday soon we will do this again.
02:45So that's our encounter with the big whale sharks.
02:47Thanks for watching.
02:48See you next time. Bye.
