Gentle Giants of Thailand - 4K WHALE SHARK
May 17, 2021
As far as whale sharks encounters go, this one was simply perfect. A small group of divers, most of us being camera professionals, got to enjoy nearly 2 full dives with this beauty at South West Pinnacle, Koh Tao - Thailand. Conditions were great with beautiful visibility and soft lighting conditions. Please enjoy this short 4K video!

Documented by a small team from Aquatic Images on two excursions, the giant, slow-moving creature is shown gliding gracefully through the Gulf of Thailand with what appears to be dozens of remora, or suckerfish, tagging along for the ride—these smaller swimmers tend to clean bacteria and parasites from their host in exchange for food and easy travel.
