Dubai - 15 Minutes Alone with a Whale Shark Dubai Corporate Video Production Seraph

We spent a very pleasant 15 minutes together while she obliged me, swimming alongside me at a distance of less than a metre, performing beautifully for the camera. I’ve spent time with many marine creatures over the years and some are friends; others foes (foes including aggressive triggerfish and sea snakes, never sharks). In this case I’d made a friend who appeared to genuinely enjoy my company. At one point she swam away and I had to fin like crazy to catch up with her. I was just about to give up and she turned around and swam directly towards me like it was a game for her and we hung out for a bit longer, cheek-to-cheek; I could have touched her. She was beautiful and amazing and bold and confident; there are not enough words to describe this amazing creature. By now I was up to 75 minutes dive time (oops) and the excitement and exertion of furiously fining had almost bled my tank dry. I took some final shots looking down at my beautiful friend and went up to tell the others on the boat what I’d seen, but it was too late for them. Despite 7 divers frantically jumping into the water with snorkels, we’d said our goodbyes and she was long gone. This was an experience I will never forget and all the more so because I was alone with my friend and the experience was all mine. Diving is like that; sometimes it’s just your turn and today was mine.
