Swimming with Whale Sharks! {Oslob, Cebu}

- The Whale Sharks tour of Oslob, Cebu is one of the top attractions for tourists visiting Philippines. At Oslob, visitor has the option to swim, snorkel, or dive with one of these gentle giants. The city of Oslob is quite a distance from Cebu City but the experience was worth the long and early commute. There is an ethical decision on whether tours like this is right, I think each of us have our own opinion and this tour has left me quite a bit to think about.

WAIT! You went to the Philippines? How did I miss this development 😂 I hope you had a fantastic time. Not sure what your plans are/were, but if you get the chance to go to Palawan, the snorkeling there is amazing. Also, Balicasag (an island off of the coast of Bohol) is a great spot for coral and sea turtles. I'm Filipino and we go back every few years and were just there a couple months ago!
As always man, fantastic video
Its about time you uploaded this 👍
Brilliant video thank you for sharing the experience with us!👍😎
Awesome footage ! What camera did you use ??
Wow that’s an awesome experience great video hopefully one day I can take a trip like that
This would be such a cool experience. I’d love to try this
Wow! Seeing them at the Georgia aquarium was very impressive, can't imagine seeing them in the wild!
Short and sweet. Nice.
I also did this when I visited the Philippines, explaining it to people didn't do it justice. great vid

Dude ,I want to do this MYSELF!!!
Hopefully I will go next summer (2019) to CANCUN, MEXICO, where it's whale shark season from June to September.
This is done in many parts of the world, different TIMES of the year. I looked up in Google and the places where whale sharks gather up depends on the TIME OF THE YEAR. So....I will go next summer hopefully to CANCUN MEXICO in August.
Wow very beautifulll place , magnificent shark
Screw that. That’s awesome. I love whale shark. One of the coolest animals in the world.
Is the current to fast cause she’s kicking quickly or she’s scare 👻of such a big and gorgeous animal
Very cool man. Such a pretty area!

Did you stop by at Carcar City and tried their famous chicharon?
Awsome video
Awesome trip!! Not to many people get to experience swimming with large sea life creatures.
Hey! Which type of camera did you use?
This is short, but awesome vid.
Beautiful creatures
Will a 50 gallon be enough to house these guys?
lol...
Lol
Minimum tank size is 55 sorry bud
you cant.. lol
OMG I want to go to the Philippines sooo bad, great video :)
Come to north samar phil xila beach resort wd literally pink sand beaches
Very cool.
I guess there are pro’s and con’s to both sides, but what a way to educate the public on these magnificent creatures.
You should get another predatory fish for the drop off. You could get another frog fish and call it Daifuku or you could get a mantis shrimp or fumanchu lion.
When did you see this whale shark?
Come to north samar
Kool.
The best island
so cool! i want to swim with those fish 😲
Same

It took you decades to upload this. hahaha! Anyways, hope you enjoyed your stay here in the PH :)
I'm in the don't feed the wildlife camp. I fact the phrase comes to mind everytime I pull up to a red light in my hometown and am solicited for money, it seems, at almost every intersection. If you look at one of the whale sharks that was in the group it appears that it had lost the tip of his tail to a prop blade. But money talks and the mob rules. Thank you for giving us a window into your experience and the way that you spoke of it was well said.
david chilton it could of lost the tip of its fin to anything. Maybe a giant squid a killer whale or a shark, the ocean is a dangerous place.
Thumbs up :)

Boom 2nd
OMG LUCKY.....
These whale sharks are educated. They still go their way eating in the wilds naturally. Some bitter naturalist just wanted to be recognized because this is very popular. What they should do is concentrate on the animals being hunted or killed by poachers like pangolins, myna, elephant, rhinos, etc.
Sally looks like she is about to be eaten. Do they feed them krill?
yes, some would say let them go wild, but most say keep them to keep them alive from poachers. what do you think. they're more alive in oslob
im a filipino and im 9 rn, im planning to go there very very soon :D im in luzon rn
Oh lordy i am so jealous! It's my dream to swim with whale sharks. or any shark really. :)
The Glitch great white?
Malevolent Duppy I totally would!
Maybe not a bull shark or mako though.
You're braver than me, that's all I can say.
First
Me
so long as they’re not hurting the animal, I see no problem with this
Short video this week😢
For a long time nobody believed me when I told them the largest fish in the ocean was a whale shark
Ryan Deacon that's what I said. Read it a little better next time before commenting
Billy Pipes 👌
Beautiful... If they didnt like the human interaction they would not come back...

Hello po. Napakaganda naman ng video mo lodi. Sana makaclick ka rin sa mga videos ko frend at makasunod ka friend sa mga ginagwa ko. Salamat lodi
😄😄😄😄😄😄
Dna bbalik ang butanding jan sa oslob. Kasi kinukulong nyo.
Yeah looks like she needs to learn how to tread water a little better
This is so wrong. First of all you are messing with the eco system. Secondly, these poor whale sharks are starting to get scars everywhere from boats and people accidentally bumping into them. Do not do this. There are ethical ways to watch them, without feeding them and keeping the right distance.
@Hiro Nito In DONSOL they know what they're doing, not in Oslob. Feeding them fish interferes with their migration pattern, the closeness to people and boats physically harms them and also makes them more adapted to danger. You SHOULD worry!!!
@Hiro Nito Hiro, I've seen it. Also, if you do a quick research on youtube or anywhere online, you will see it too!! We should all START worrying before it's too late. It's ALWAYS wrong to feed wild animals. Period. 4 REASONS TO AVOID OSLOB: 1. Many people don’t follow whale shark interaction code of conduct. Participants who breach the guidelines given during briefings are not penalized. 2. The feeding in Oslob is teaching whale sharks that boats and humans mean food. Oslob whale sharks are now observed to actively approach boats instead of avoiding them. 3. The natural season for whale sharks in Oslob lasts for only 60 days. However, as fishermen import food from other regions to feed the whale sharks, they are now staying in Oslob for much longer instead of moving on to other regions. As of 2013, the longest recorded stay for a whale shark in Oslob was Mr. Bean, who had stayed for 392 days! 4. Aside from breeding, the lack of migration also poses another problem - instead of moving with the nutritious blooms of plankton, the whale sharks are now also eating less natural food that is not complete for their nutritional needs.
Not a fan of this type of set up intereaction, be it whales, sharks, lions , dolphins or any other "wow" animal.
Thats just my opinion though, normally like your videos :P
Ur accent is overwhelming, I'd rather listen to you rather than watch the whale sharks.... 😂🤣
