When it comes down to extreme sports, diving can definitely be one of them. All sort of dangerous creatures live in the deep blue. We've always been taught to stay away from the depths of the ocean and remain as close to the shore as possible. However, there are some people who love going on adventures and searching for all kinds of animals that live under water just to see them from up-close and feel the adrenaline rush!

Snorkelers in Osob, Philippines were incredibly lucky to encounter two whale sharks. Actually, they found themselves surrounded by the giant whale sharks while they were out swimming. They swam in the middle of these gentle giants for hours as the enormous creatures swam near the surface.

Up to 49 ft long and 55,115 pounds heavy, whale sharks are the largest known fish species on Earth. Despite of being known as the world's biggest shark, the whale shark is actually quite harmless for human.

While swimming in the deep blue open sea off the coast of Oslob, Philippines these freedivers encountered whale sharks and decide to make this incredible video. What a breathtaking experience!

The clear blue waters in Oslob give these divers plenty of time to plan their photo opportunities with the majestic animals. It is incredible how this enormous whale shark appears to be totally calm and ready to interact and befriend the humans. Incredible!

When swimmers spotted the whale sharks hanging out in the waters they decided to approach and catch an up-close glimpse of these majestic creatures. They were eager to see what these massive mammals have to offer so they decided to tag along.
