Getting a little cheeky in Donsol

We cruised down to Legaspi recently to dive with the

whale sharks. They migrate every year to the plankton

rich waters. They were hunted in the past for their meat

but thankfully the locals are making more money out of

tourism than fishing for them, so they look after them.

We are spoilt at home diving with dolphins

and seals so we are hard to please and initially thought this

whole thing may have been over rated. They are called

sharks but they are definitely placid whales. We were

amazed at these gentle giants. One was over 11 metres long and let

us swim along with it for ages.When they get sick of you

they just cruise deeper into the murky water

One of the best experiences we have had. A must

for any ocean lover
