    This is hands down the coolest whale shark footage I have ever seen.

  • @FintasticFilms
    @FintasticFilms 11 месяцев назад +48

    This is hands down one of the best BlueWorld episodes EVER! I can't even imagine what it would be like to dive with so many whale sharks in the wild, let alone the school of HAMMERHEADS. I dove with them in the Georgia Aquarium a few years back but this is an entirely different level. Darwin island has always been really high on my bucket list.

    • @BlueWorldTV
      @BlueWorldTV  11 месяцев назад +9

      Darwin Island is possibly the best single dive site on this planet.

    I'm 12 right now and I can't wait to start scuba diving again! I go to a local scuba school that teaches people 11 and up in regular scuba classes. When I was around the age of 10 I was in that school but since they only teach 12 and up I had to join a different thing that teached people that were young. So, I joined a thing (in the same school) called scuba rangers that tought people 9 to 11. It costed around $500 so I got into it but they barley had classes due to it being during the pandemic and them losing a lot of swimming teachers. When I became 11 I was to old to be in scuba rangers and I was able to join the regular scuba classes. But then we became really poor due to the rising prices in California. So we had to leave. But now we are getting more money and my parents could get me inside of the regular scuba classes! This video really makes me excited about scuba diving because sharks are my favourite animal. Thank you for filming all of these dives because they really makes me excited about scuba diving. 👌

    The Galapagos archipelago is one of the few remaining wonders of the world. Sadly, Ecuador, the country to which these islands belong, has turned into a hellish inferno, where drug trafficking, gang warfare, kidnapping, and extorsion by all sorts of criminals, are now the norm of every day life!

    Wow, what a wonderful place to dive.
    I am glad, we got to find two whale sharks and pregnant.
    I believe the cleaning station might of been about the styled waters that might of gave the whale shark's womb a special kind of nutrient supplements.
    I wonder what kind of fish school that was mainly in that specific area?
    Great views and close peaceful encounter.
    Thank you so much❤

      The best time of year is when the water is cooler, which is their winter (our summer) so basically June-October. I always shoot for August/September as the prime months.
