Description "...and remember to breathe."

A practice skin diving session before sundown. We were preparing to swim with Butanding the next morning. For those of you who are unfamiliar, 'Buntanding' is the term the locals use to refer to whale sharks; Bus-sized gentle giants in the waters. Literally the biggest fish in the world. They are filter feeders, so we weren't in any danger, but it was nonetheless a breathtaking experience. =]

Donsol, Philippines

Ah, we did but none really came out well. The water was a bit murky at the time so all we got were lots of blues and occasional spots from the shark's back.

Ahh I see. I wish the water wasn't murky, but I'm sure you had a great time anyway
