The sometimes sad reality of scuba diving ⬇️
Diving or snorkeling with whalesharks can be the most wonderful thing ! It can also be the most overwhelming... 
The lack of regulations, on how many boats can drop divers on a whaleshark, or how many poeple can be in the water with it, in most places in the world, can create this type of situation. It is not a criticism to the people or the companies, but a call to regulate the industry. 
In this video, there are no bad behaviors towards the whaleshark. A vast majority of dive professionals and divers behave extremely well when encountering these beautiful animals. But some will always try to take advantage of the situation to touch or get a photo too close to the animal.

Sometimes when encountering such animals the best thing to do is to step back, or not call other companies to join in.
