I'm a Fish!
Diving yesterday at Kuroshima in the Keramas we were visited by a very friendly whale shark which swam with us for about 30 minutes.

Hope they do remain safe and sound! Will the fishing community leave it be? What are the best seasons or times of year to see whale sharks in the area? I am still waiting to see my first one. I am relocating to Tokyo in August for a new job. Hope to dive some deep wrecks as well.

Whale sharks are not fished in these waters (neither are whales) so he should be fine. We have had an increase in sighting in the area over the past two years- we do not have a distinct spot where they are seen so we just get lucky some days. They are in the are year round.
