Captains Blog Maldives / Day 7

Wow, what an awesome day! Best dive day of the trip for sure. We had a great morning dive, lots of eels and colorful fish, but in the afternoon, we spent several hours looking for whale sharks outside the atoll (group of islands). We found one and all jumped off the scuba boat with only snorkel gear like we were going down like the titanic. You have to act fast! This one was about 60 feet deep, so we were limited on view. Upon boarding the boat, another was spotted right at the surface. We again hopped off, and to our surprise, he just hung around and let us swim with him. A good 20 minutes. Here's some great photos. When I get home, I will send out some videos. Truly amazing. Evening ended with an island beach dinner of shrimp and wine. Awesome day...
