1. "Whole" sharks
There's a tour office in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, which advertises, "swim with a whole shark!" If you take them up on the offer you'll find that the whale sharks are indeed whole, with two big eyes and huge dorsal fins, and average about 8m in length.
There's nothing like swimming eye to eye with one of these giant beasts, as long as you can swim fast enough. One of the best places to see them is off Isla Mujeres and Isla Holbox in Mexico. Or, for something closer to home, try the Ningaloo reef in Western Australia, Donsol in the Philippines, or visit Whale Shark Project for other suggestions. Remember, they can only be seen in certain seasons so check this out before heading to your chosen destination. A word of warning — don't get in their way!
