It's finally here!

I've been talking about this video for a long time and I was even reminded by @indayclara to upload this one already because it has been long overdue.

I already talked about my position about these kinds of tourism. I felt that I became a hypocrite for doing this, but my stance is still the same. Maybe I can talk about everything about this in detail in another post, but let's just enjoy the video for now. It's one of the most surreal experiences I've had in my life.

Please don't forget to drop by in the comments and tell me what you think about this video. I would love to read your comments! As always, thank you very much for the support!

It was very exciting yet very calming at the same time. They just don't care about you. They just swim in there to eat.

amazing, beautiful creature. it is a unique experience to get in touch with these giants of the sea.

Mahadlok gyud ko ani nila Kim. Didto ming GB pero bati to kay bawd kaayu huhu

Dili man sila manghilabot. 😂 Muduol sila nimo noh? Mao hadlok. Hadlok ko maigo sila sa fins.

Katong kami kay super calm and clear.

For such a big creature they move so elegantly! I can't believe how you sit so close and they just let you swim near by. Beautiful!

They're so elegant! They would even come close to you. That's why I'm afraid they would get hit by my fins. Such awesome creatures!

Have you ever dared to touch one?

Omg! Whale sharks are my favourite! You are so lucky for doing this, I bet it felt so surreal. Don't think I'd be able to do it though. I mean, look at their size. Amazing video, and it must be amazing feeling. ❤️

It was so surreal that I was able to hold my breath longer than usual. They're so gentle. Swimming with them is one of the best experiences I had.

50 lang? Kanindot gud. 500 amo nya 30 minutes lang. Katong kami kay sayo sa buntag so linaw kaayo ang dagat. Kami pinakauna didto.

i see.. permi man gud mi moadto kanang almost pa end na ang service nila..try namo next time sau sau..kun makauli mig oslob..

yes 50 ra basta local didto

Mostly among naobserve jud na linaw ang dagat early in the morning except kung bati jud ang weather. Once muabot ug 9 AM, dako na ang waves mao lisud na ilangoy.

Pero grabe ang 10x difference sa rates between locals and dili locals. Still enjoyed it tho.

You are really getting to see and do some amazing things in that under world how awesome 👍

Yasss! Thank you! Such an awesome experience. I think the video just shows a fraction of the experience. You have to be down there to be immersed with the whole experience.

Totally agree if you are not part of the action you will never know the whole feel of it keep having fun @ybanezkim26 you seem to be really enjoying this free dive.

How fucking scary is the ocean, it's beautiful but those whales are scary. I can imagine how surreal this must be. I remember you were just learning to swim and now you are a pro swimming with the whales. The music in these videos is really relaxing, although it makes me a little nostalgic thinking about the meaning of life. Keep enjoying Kim!

They're not scary at all! They're so gentle. They won't bite you. 😂

Thank you, bb! How are you there? Axie still very profitable?

I don't know, just looking at them gives me chills. 😨

Currently it is still profitable but it has a 2-3 month ROI depending on the Axies you buy and how high you go in cups, that's with the current price of SLP. It will probably go up soon, for now I am doing well. You have to play it, bb!
