Additional comments:
I don’t know if it’s the same individual. According to my dive log from the time the Whale shark encounter was in a bay in Mahe at the Seychelles on the 18 and 19/11/1994. A group of 4-5 individuals was hanging around for a few days. We watched them eating on the first day (late afternoon) – they’ve got a very impressive mouth when they’re coming right towards you ! They were stalked by huge schools of Fusiliers. On the second day the stalkers had left and the sharks seemed to be just cruising around (morning).
