Diving with Whale Sharks Oslob Cebu (4K 60p)

Diving with the majestic Whales Sharks in Oslob, Cebu was amazing. When these gentle giants swam by within an arm-length distance, we could feel the wake of their powerful tail fins. Incredibly, we swam with the largest sharks in the ocean for about an hour and a half - two 45-minute dives - and it was totally worth traveling half way around the globe to experience this!
Keep in mind that the whale sharks decide whether to show up at Oslob or continue on their migratory journeys.

But some - four percent of the total - become year-round residents." "whale shark tourism - with its unknown effects on the animals - shows no signs of slowing down."
