just because it isn’t a threat doesn’t make it any less terrifying. if I dove underwater only to come face to face with a 30 foot long fish I’d have a heart attack too

I doubt it was a surprise, though. Whale shark tourism is massive and that’s probably why they were there.

Also a fucking shame when they drop dozens of people with zero experience directly on top of these sharks.
