There's a story floating around Sydney UW circles that a pair of Japanese divers went to Exmouth to dive with whale sharks. Their English wasn't brilliant either. To save money they hired a small dinghy and went out looking for sharks.
Discovering what they thought was a giant whale shark on the surface they jumped in and began snapping stills. A great time was had with this big beast.
Later, their photo's were proudly being passed around - trouble was......it wasn't a whale shark they were diving and photographing! Guess what.......a big tiger!!!!!!
