The village of Tan-awan, in the south of Cebu island, Philippines is home to the biggest fish in the ocean: the whale shark.
Since late 2011, the locals have been attracting the whale sharks feeding them in the morning - lucky enough they only eat plankton! and many tourists have been visiting this village putting it on the travelling map.
You only get 30mins in the water, you are not allowed to touch the sharks or swim closer than 4mts... Which is pretty hard when they are as big as 12mts themselves and swimming around!
Here are the pictures the local guy took of me at the command "ma'am, go down!" ... Hence the weird poses.
