Additional comments:
Had approximately 1 hour with this whaleshark.
First encountered at the surface around 2 diveboats, had 20 mins snorkling followed by 30 mins diving with him. Shark swam in figure of 8 pattern (sleeping?) until it swam into the boat and swam off. Shark then returned after approx 30 mins giving us chance to snorkle with it once more.
