Are you gearing up for swimming with whale sharks or snorkeling in 
La Paz? The majestic creatures are harmless and elegant. The gentle 
giants swim in the warm waters in search of food.
Before your adventurous 
whale shark snorkeling or swimming in La Paz, let us find out 
some exciting things about these mysterious creatures.
Some Facts about the Whale Sharks
• The lower depth limit of the whale sharks is more than 1,900 
meters (6,200 feet)!
• Pregnant female whale sharks can potentially give birth to up to 
300 baby whale sharks. The baby whale sharks have a length of 
approximately 60 cm (24 inches) at birth. The smallest ever baby 
whale shark was measured was 46 cm (18 inches) long.
• The current population trend of whale sharks is decreasing.
• In the last few years, you must have seen the whale sharks in 
three international films, like Finding Dory, Kon Tiki, and Life of Pi.
What is Laser Photogrammetry on Whale Sharks?
How can you calculate the length of a whale shark without touching 
it? The researchers and scientists use the Laser Photogrammetry 
technique to calculate the length of a whale shark. Laser 
Photogrammetry requires tools like an underwater camera and two 
parallel laser pointers (fitted together at a distance apart on single 
support). The scientists point the two lasers at the body of the shark 
and take photos.
How should you Approach a Whale Shark while swimming or 
snorkeling?
Are you thinking of how to approach the harmless and attractive 
whale sharks during swimming or snorkeling with them? It is not 
very complicated as these creatures are indifferent to our presence.
But you should follow the rules of conduct to avoid disturbing the 
gentle giants. The whale sharks often dive deep if snorkelers or 
swimmers get too close. It can end the encounter for everyone and 
cause the whale shark to show unnecessary avoidance behavior.
Here are some tips for approaching the gentle giant whale 
sharks:
• Keep noise to a minimum when you enter the water.
• Snorkel calmly and do not chase whale sharks. Approach the 
whale shark from the side to get the best view.
