Rare gentle giants sighting 🐋✨
A humbling and unforgettable whale shark encounter onboard @divers_den
Whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean, growing up to 12 meters long. Despite their incredible size they remain peaceful filter feeders, gracefully moving through the water while feeding on plankton and small fish.
These encounters are rare at this time of year, but recent coral spawning has brought increased activity to the reef. A magical reminder of just how incredible our oceans are! 🪸
