Additional comments:
I was shooting with a point and shoot camera and it wouldn't focus on him with all the other fish swimming around. Switched to video to get some sort or record. If you need me to send in a still frame let me know.

The dive masters on the dive boat said it wasn't to common to see a whale shark in the waters close to Koh Bida Nai.

I'm very interested in your project. Let me know if there is way to become involved and help.
