Freediving with Whale Sharks in Donsol | Philippine Airlines | Mabuhay Magazine

We were really lucky on that trip, over the course of three days of snorkeling, I swam with 34 whale sharks (11 the first day, 12 the second, and 11 the last) and although the water was murky from the high concentration of plankton, I was still able to get a few usable shots.
