Swimming with the Whale Sharks

This past weekend we drove all the way up to Exmouth (14.5 hours one way) to swim with the largest "fish" (actually a shark) in the ocean. It was a truly an incredible experience. We bought a video of us doing it (since we did not have an underwater camera), and will have to show you in person. We swam on the Ningaloo Reeg and saw tons of fish (someone in our group actually saw a small (3 foot) shark), then we swam with manta rays, whale sharks and at the end of the day we saw some humpback whales :-) Anyway, here are some pics from the weekend.



Brrrr... we were cold!


We also swam with the manta rays.
