Buenos Dias everybody. We're on our way to go see whale sharks.
If you're seeing this video, well then something awesome obviously happened.
Here they come.
Whoa!
It might be a little bit noisy for you to hear, but if you can't hear me,
Then I'm gonna overdub it in post. Nat found out about this place that there were whale sharks here, and I didn't believe it.
I thought nah, it's too close to home. It's not gonna happen. But this is the big season for whale sharks so
fingers crossed
We've got sharks.
Oh! there's a lot of them!
Right here amigo! Oh My god!
Right here the manta ray! The manta ray swimming.
Got one right here I think. A big one. He's coming right toward us.
Follow the whale shark.
Not only are whale sharks the largest of all sharks, they're the largest fish on the planet.
Yet they feed on some of the smallest creatures in the sea, plankton.
They gulp up tons of water and sieve out the tiny animals and plants with their gills in a process called filter-feeding.
Whale sharks grow larger than a school bus, yet they are extremely docile.
Each diver was allowed only two 5-minute swims with the sharks.
To us the ten minutes with these magnificent creatures was well worth the plunge.
These are our awesome guides. While making us fresh ceviche we told politically incorrect jokes.
Fresh ceviche. Pollo de arbor.
Ha ha ha. Iguana!
The tour also included a brief coral reef snorkel in the clearest turquoise waters.
Is that a whale shark or is that a shadow?
ha ha. That looks like a whale shark.
Whoops hang on.
Okay.
Fresh ceviche off the boat.
We're now walking through the cool area.
And if you want to know the secret to looking cool
You want to carry a trash bag with you, some cutoff
shorts and an old rock-and-roll t-shirt
Hobo cool?
Hobo is the latest trend.
high-class, hobo though.
We stayed at the Mia reef resort hotel located on its own little island off the main island.
There we were treated to clean and comfortable rooms with dreamy tropical scenery.
All-inclusive meals and the latest German male swimmer fashions.
Near the villas on the northern tip of the island terns and noddys have taken up a tiny sanctuary.
One of the main attractions here at the hotel is the creatures of Blue Lagoon swamp.
(scary music)
(Mariachi music)
After a long wonderful day we treated ourselves to the seafood buffet.
And for dessert some dreamy lighting over the sea.
Buenos dias gato.
Hard core...
We booked a tour snorkeling tour that was supposed to go to some underwater Museum. Theres supposed to be sharks.
We got in a cab and we might have gotten intercepted by a different tour group.
So we're gonna roll with it. We're just gonna float along.
Watch this be the most epic tour we've ever been on.
Thirty minutes later...
Aweeee... So cute.
So it turns out,
a current carries you over a thriving shallow reef and the mandatory life jackets protect the delicate corals from being trampled by tourists.
We were pleasantly surprised how nice it was to just effortlessly drift above the undersea beauty.
That was amazing. That was surprisingly awesome.
So much healthy coral. The people on this tour are awesome unlike yesterday they were boring.
This is my friend Jyell. He wants to be a future Youtuber right? What are your videos is gonna be about?
Games.
Games? yeah!
