[status] We are currently underway, leaving the whale shark area. We are heading for the Pulau Archipeligo here in the bay...not to be confused with Pulau the country. Swimming with the whale sharks was amazing. It was challenging to find the fishing platform that had whale sharks, but once we did, we got up close and personal to two whale sharks. They literally would swim around you and you could ride them. If you were not careful you would get bumped by their very large tail. The biggest downside was the visiblity. It was poor about 5-7m on the surface, which is where the sharks were. So...pictures and video were not great, but it was still an amazing.
