Whale Shark

American Samoa 5 DMWR fisheries biologist and a Wildlife biologist guest, on a fisheries reef survey met a Gentle Giant and had the experience of a lifetime in 2003. The wildlife biologist Dorte (the Guest) had said that she really wished that she could have seen a Whale shark before she departed American Samoa (Dorte's contract was ending in a few days she would be leaving American Samoa). My answer to her was, "The Day isn't over yet". Shortly after our conversation a large fin appeared behind the boat, her wish was heard, and she not only saw one up close but swam with the Whale Shark that day.
