Here is a short video clip, filmed by Liam Donnelly of Santo Island Dive, of a 5 mt juvenile female whale shark swimming with Matthew and guests of Santo Island Dive on the SS President Coolidge on Sunday 29 September 2013. The shark spent about 30 minutes with the divers around the boat and seemed interested in the divers while at the same time feeding on the plankton. Thank you Espiritu Santo Tourism Association for sharing.
