After numerous attempts to catch up to these extremely bashful sharks, it dawned on me that I was missing out on the pure joy of just being in the same waters with these magnificent beasts. So I put away my camera and simply enjoyed the scenery. At one point, I was very close to a juvenile whale shark, which was about 20 ft long (yes, juvenile). It had been gaining momentum and swimming rapidly away from me when all of a sudden, it had a change of heart and circled back. I then found myself face to face with this gentle giant and for that fleeting moment, nothing else mattered. It was such a humbling experience to be that close to nature, I could barely contain myself. I felt very blessed.
