22/02/2006: "WHALE SHARK"
A great thrill to swim with.....but you need to be fit to keep pace with them.
Overseas oceanariums are displaying these giant sharks, in huge new tanks, it's unlikely to happen in Australia in any great hurry due to our protection laws.
The oceanarium at Naha, Okinawa has manta rays, whale sharks, (as large as that pictured above) plus a school of large tuna and other sharks - all swimming together.
Quite amazing to see through the giant glass walls from a perspective of being 40 or 50 feet underwater.
Better than any dive location I've visited in real life!
(I saw it all on a TV documentary while visiting Taiwan, and the sound was not in English).
