I have video of all four whale sharks not too long ago. Magnificent creatures.
I agree with some posts that containing these living beings for our viewing
pleasure is wrong. I also agree that unless we can and begin to do something
to protect them, the only place we will find them are at aquariums and zoos.
This is most unfortunate. As a diver, I have grown from just recreational
diver with curiousity to one that appreciates the life that surrounds me as I
dive. I have come to love and respect them. "Do no harm" is a motto I try to
live by.
Everytime I dive, I alway say my piece, "Not not touch or harm anything."
I just say it out loud, not to anyone specifically, just loud enough so people think that I am talking to myself, out loud. I hope they get the hint.
We are in their home, respect it as you would want someone to respect yours.
