Additional comments:
Observed in shallow water - top 10m
Juvenile shark. Think it was female but did not get right underneath to make 100% observation. Very inquisitive. It stayed around us for about 20min at just 8m. A Manta came underneath the Whale Shark and the shark's body language changed and it seemed to start following the manta for a short while. 2 Whale sharks seen on this dive. This 3m shark was the second one we saw. The first whale shark already submitted was at least 4m, slightly larger than this shark.
