Any scuba divers?

That's just a giant puppy. Whale sharks eat plankton, not people! LOL

Floating reefs..... I love whale sharks.

Yes but I imagine if one swallowed you whilst it was sifting thousands of gallons of water to get it's plankton it would not be a particularly fun experience.

'If he had have been sucked into the massive mouth the shark would have just spat him out.

It would actually be a pretty cool story to tell your grandkids.

Anybody ever scuba-dipped at the Heber Crater/ Homestead Crater giant cave hot pot.... or whatever it's called? That's kind of a cool place. Not cool enough to vacation to Utah for specifically or anything, but cool enough to drive from the bigger cities in the state to go check out at least once.

I dove the crater last year. It was cool for the experience - to say you dove in a crater and for the refresher, but I wouldn't go too far out of my way to do it again. Like you said, an overnight to the homestead/park city that includes skiing and diving the crater would be fun.

Has anyone tried diving at Seabase? Went there last year and that place is a trip. Very cool staff, really poor visibility- but a chance to pet two enormous nurse sharks. Not many people realize that there are nurse sharks and tropical fish swimming around in the west desert.

I'm certified, I've only been in three places but loved each one! So cal kelp forest is way cool, the only problem is you have to wear a 7 mil wetsuit and it restricts you movement! Hawaii was amazing we were there when all the humppedback whales were there, while we didn't see them you could hear them the whole time you dived! My last placed I dove was my favorite sodwana bay, south africa! There is no river with in 50 miles giving you excellent visibility and a current that takes you right along the reef, requiring little effort as you dive!

Just looking at that picture of the kelp forest makes my skin crawl. I have a massive case of hydrophobia, and man, you couldn't pay me enough to get in there. I can't even swim in a pool by myself, ffs...

Googled imaged that and it looks incredible...that place has a little bit of everything. Always enjoy a good wreck dive.

Hit the islands off the north coast of Honduras. If you time it right you can see whale sharks.
