Whale Shark on Oriskany - May 31

[evensplit]

Divers on the "H2O Below" encountered a whale shark yesterday on the Oriskany off Pensacola. The estimated 30' long shark hung around the entire second dive, and interacted with the divers. Visibility was 100'+.

Not sure if this is the same one that was there for a good bit of last summer, but he/she seemed content to stay around.

Very cool, with conditions and megafauna out, seems like the best time to book a trip!

By interacted do you mean divers grabbed on to its fin and went for a ride? Cool sight.
