Hiu Paus of Indonesia

Up close and personal!

A decades-long dream has come to fruition for me! I never imagined it would be with my 3 young kiddos and amazing life partner. Nor did I imagine it would go on for almost 2 hours with only us five in attendance . When we finally got in the dinghy the whale sharks were still swimming around and one juvenile swam directly under us wanting to still play! This crew is extremely adventurous with no fear. It is easy to take this experience for granted and I need to remind myself that all the work pays off with times like these. Enjoy!

I will most likely add more reflections here in the near future but my new, eager dive partner is pining to gear up and scuba dive at ‘The Aquarium” again.

The singing in this video is the Muslim call to prayer which plays from the mosques five times daily. Enjoy!!

  3. What a joy to view swimming with whale sharks. I love the audio- call to prayer. It is a fitting accompaniment for the video.

  4. You are kiddos are so brave! I think I would be terrified to swim with such large creatures, even though they seem very gentle.
