Today our divers who were diving by speedboat were lucky and could snorkeling with a whale shark for about 10 minutes.

The slow giant is harmless and often curious towards divers. He is active day and night, feed on plankton and mainly pelagic (in the open water swimming). Only occasionally it is also found in lagoons or outer reefs.

In the film, deep sea anglerfish was used as an example, who lives in 200m to 4000m depth and are 6cm to 1.20m long. But we divers meet the frogfish in shallow waters where they look not so grim and are about 40cm long maximum. Read more
