My first whale shark!
Inspired by a 10 photos in 10 days challenge on Facebook and the fact that traveling to go scuba diving is not possible right now, I decided to post pictures from my most memorable dive experiences.
The year was 2004 and I was on my second dive trip, having started diving in autumn of 2003. After visiting the Similan Islands for my first liveaboard trip, I headed onwards to Kho Phi Phi for some more diving. The best known dive sites in the neighbourhood are Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, which are quite a long trip by speed boat, but known for its large pelagic encounters.
On one of the two dives, we suddenly heard a huge commotion from the other side of the rock and our dive guide was quick enough to lead us there and we saw this juvenile Whale Shark swimming by. I tried to follow it for a bit burning through most of my air, but it was worth it, and I got a surprisingly decent shot out of it, considering my lack of experience with underwater photography.
Mor pictures from that trip can be found here, but keep in mind, my photography skills have gotten better since then ;).
And here a quote from my original blog post:
Whale Shark!!!!!!!!!!!
I've travelled to Koh
Phi-Phi yesterday and made a trip to Hin Daeng/Hin Mueng in the south.
There I saw a 6-7m long Whaleshark! Whoa, what an exiting trip. :-)
