Whale Shark Encounter - Destin, FL - August 9th 2020

This Whale Shark Encounter was filmed by Kenneth Worley, his wife Christy, and son Coleman on August 9th, 2020 just offshore in Destin Florida. Whale sharks are gentle, slow-moving giants and are the largest living nonmammalian vertebrate. Whale sharks love warm tropical waters and are often spotted in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. But it is a very rare treat to encounter one this close to shore in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Truly a beautiful and magnificent creature. Special thanks to the Worley family for sharing this extremely special encounter!

Off the coast of Destin?!!!! How incredibly rare and lucky for you! I’ve swam with them in Isla Mujeres, the Maldives & Mozambique. Hope to be swimming with them in 11 days in the Sea of Cortez.
