Observed By: BB Divers, Jonathan Milnes, Karin Golsteyn
The Whale Shark is Koh Chang’s biggest visitor by quite some margin. This gentle giant is frequently found in koh Chang waters and a Whale Shark encounter is a unique diving experience. Generally juvenile animals are found in thes ewaters, they are typically (only!) 6-8 metres long. The best way to find out of any recent sightings is to contact the local dive schools on Koh Chang who will be able to tell you.
