Article Summary:

The official thread for the 2012 Wetpixel Ultimate Whale Sharks Expedition is now open in the forums. The group has spent a day on the water and trip leader Alex Mustard reports:

“Unbelievable. I see why people go on and on about this place. First morning. Straight out of port into sharks. Captain reckoned 300-400 whale sharks in flat calm, blue seas. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The trip will be running over the next two weeks, so you can expect lots of whale shark “action.” Please be sure to check back on the forum thread for updates and more stunning images.
