How cool is that! These photos look great! Can't wait to be able to travel again (hard lockdown going on at the moment here). Always wanted to get a shot like that with a massive school of fishes. Been looking for whale sharks as well but no luck in seeing any when we travel. 😀
Good thing we are not in lockdown anymore so we can travel around Cebu, but it's difficult when you transfer to other islands. We have whale shark watching here, but I don't support it so I haven't visited it. I don't like them feeding the whale sharks because it disrupted their migration patterns and feeding behavior. We have other places here in the Philippines with whale shark watching as well and those places are in my plan to visit.
Haven't heard of feeding whale shark spots in Thailand. They seem to be quite rare to see even in the high seasons. We haven't done much diving though so maybe that is why.
As they shouldn't be fed. Here, one town became a tourist spot because of the whale sharks. Search whale shark watching in Oslob, Cebu. Those whale sharks stay in the area the whole year. They don't migrate anymore.
