Additional comments:
My wife and I were on a five island tour with Alba cruises when we were leaving Komoto national Park after seeing the Komodo dragons we spotted a whale shark on the surface so we jumped in to swim with the whale shark this is the footage we captured. The whale shark was curious would swim away and then swim directly towards us and swim away again this occurred for about 30 minutes.
