That is so cool, and goes to show there's so much beneath the surface that we're missing when we sit on the beach and just look at the waves coming in from the Gulf.

Wow! I am standing here beside myslef... sitting :shock:. Has anyone noticed Whale Sharks in the area before?

hey, I'm doing the exact same thing!

no, I've never heard of whale sharks in the area...???

I was in its mouth! No really. Somebody hook a brother up. I've been seeing some neat stuff and sure, I found around 15 golf balls in the Gulf today, but a Whale shark? That's exclusive.

If anyone has any idea or dibs on where I can maybe get out to them in a kayak or other means, let me know 985-860-2377. I'm crossing my fingers for a camera soon and would love that kind of adrenailne footage.

Five Whale Sharks appeared just offshore from Grayton Beach, Florida in the first week of August in 2009. They remained in the local waters for two days. Many of the people chartering Grayton Beach fishing boats and one group of divers photographed and swam with the whales during the two-day event. A Whale Shark is not a whale (mammal) but is a gentle, non-dangerous, filter-feeding shark that is the largest living fish species.

James Griffith, a local firefighter/diver in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida captured the beautiful underwater video. The large school of bigger fish swimming with the whale shark are cobia.

Thanks to Edmond Alexander and James Griffith.
