Tagging Whalesharks in Open Ocean!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- One of the most spectacular days I've ever had in the ocean! We set out from Big Island in Hawaii with a group of spectacular people and had some truly spectacular and rare encounters with a whaleshark, oceanic white tip sharks, dolphins and a silky shark.
Our Captain was part of a research group that was tagging certain species of shark and watching him tag the animals was awesome!

Wow!!!! Amazing!!!!! And looove your Freediving manual!
That whale shark has been fed by humans before, likely from the back of a boat. Some dive tourism industries feed them to encorage them to stick around so they can sell the expirence of swimming with them. Not the most ethical busniess. This can lead to hyper friendly sharks that associate boat with food which can cause them alot of harm If the captian is unaware the shark is near the boat.
Here from philipines watching your tutorial on diving..im so glad to learn all of your tips..hoping someday i can dive like yours😁 Godbless
😍😍😍
I'm so glad you got this opportunity!! This was really cool
Good starting 🎉
Excited to see that you’re posting some new videos these days!
100% cool dude! lol awesome adveture
stoked you finally posted some more footage from your trip. can't believe it was last January already. see you in Phuket!
♥️ love this!
Love this channel.. Will you keep uploading in the future?
First thing that comes to my mind is, that the whaleshark is breathing. Normally he needs to swim cause he is a ram breather (I think it’s called something like that), meaning he has to constantly swim every minute in his life to force water and therefore oxygen through his gills. Some sharks, like a nurse shark for example, open and close their moth to force water trough their gills without swimming.
So I believe he is technically just breathing.
Now that’s is a solid swim
what a dream!!!
The shark is exploring with it's mouth. It seems young. Like how a toddler puts things in it's mouth. It's exploring the texture, temperature, and size
@adam …love your channel…my cousin died this past weekend of a shallow water blackout. It came to me in meditation to ask of you can you a video to help educate your subscribers and viewers about SWB particularly some tips on how to dive safely with a buddy (distance to them when surfacing, surface intervals etc).
I think the whale shark was opening it's mouth by the boat because it is a filter feeder and plankton where congregating near the boat. I have heard others speculate it and that is my best guess.
The dive courses are amazing. Thank you.
can you do more tutorials about breathing teqnices
Kia ora Adam. Long time no see. I guess it's that good ol' algorithm doing what it feels like doing. However, here you are and I'm appreciative of your planet loving, good hearted attitude. I hope you, your life partner and offspring are all doing well.
*_kia pai, kia kaha, kia pono,
haere me te aroha_*
stay well, stay strong and stay honest
go with love
I have a cut on my eardrum. You have any experience with not being able to swim because of damage on eardrum?
I remember that if someone touches a whale shark
Then they just act like nothing is there
same behaviour of those whale sharks in oslob cebu where they come up to boats for feed.
Maybe the answer to the behavior is that it is used to get fed buy humans. In the Philippines Oslob they feed whaleshark and they swim to the boat and eat. Looks very similar....Maybe they do this at the fad? hope not...
If I can do 50m in the pool without fins, how deep can I do in free diving?
Fad - floating attraction device... whale sharks eat smaller food species so cant see them being fed from boats...
Yeah probably used to being boat fed :(
First 👍
I think we need a whole thread dedicated to Adam's receding hairline 👇
Looks like this whale shark is asking for food. This is a sad reality from whale shark tourism, they get used to boats feeding them that they come close to any boat silhouetted vessel on the ocean which makes them sometime vulnerable to getting hurt or death by commercial ship propellers. This is what I learned from whale shark feeder in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines
Please say no to whale shark tourism😢
