Catalina Island

July 2008 near Cancun, Mexico.

Yes, that is me in the water with a 25-30 foot whale shark.

Whale sharks migrate to these
waters each year during the summer
months to feed on plankton,fish
eggs, and other small marine
creatures. They are filter feeders
like humpback whales.

To learn more about these gentle
giants take a look at a video by
National Geographic. You can see
it by clicking on "Links" at the
top of this page, then on "Whale
Sharks".
