Whale Sharks are gentle giants, friendly and docile despite their huge size!
Less than a decade ago, the local population of whale sharks in the Philippines had been all but wiped out to satisfy demand for shark fins in China.
Though legally protected, poaching had continued when shark fin traders enticed poor local fishermen to earn money from exploiting these vulnerable animals.
Now finally, local communities have found a way to earn a living from whale shark tourism.
Rather than targeting and killing them, the locals are now passionate about protecting them.

The food they feed is the shrimp that the whale sharks naturally eat from the same area, it doesnt affect their breeding, feeding or migration patterns. The boats they use are paddle canoes and dont damage the whale sharks. In other areas they are killing the whale sharks so low level eco-tourism option is a great alternative.

Hannah you are absolutely amazing! Your tail is beautiful and I cant even begin to imagine how much effort was put into that. You have a wonderful swimming style and such respect for ocean life that is very evident in your videos. You've got guts being around such huge creatures! You are my mermaiding influence!

You are such an extraordinary performer! Your movements are so convincing, not just your tail kicks but the way you carry yourself underwater. You're amazing!

@devinbequiet 11 років тому

Because of you, I never let people tell me that being a mermaid is not a real job. You inspire me to never take 'no' for an answer. Thank you so much.

@daisycypresstulipgarden2131 9 років тому

Super, Hannah. Thank you for those amazing videos. Wow. Those whale sharks are curious animals. One towards the end of the video checked out the canoe with an open mouth. Ha. Very cute. Did they touch your body? Incredibly gorgeous animals.

@TrinaMason 10 років тому

Incredible work

@ZachReeee 10 років тому

how long can you hold your breath?

@Vousie 10 років тому

These are all 5 second shots, so she doesn't actually need to hold your breath. I can tell you this video was definitely shot over a few hours, possibly longer. But professional mermaids can often hold their breath for 5 or so minutes (that's when not moving).

@39SamanthaJ39 10 років тому

It says on her website 2 minutes

@sorensquiers2633 11 років тому

Amazing! I so wanna do that. Cool music, awesome fish, beautiful tail! I love whale sharks.

@13Okuni1 10 років тому

Hannah seriously has the best tails out of all mermaid performers. I love the sharks I want to swim with them too.

@pamtrinamoore3732 10 років тому

Whats the name of the song

@sorensquiers2633 10 років тому

Its "Crusade" by Kyrstyn Pixton.

@autumnfae1814 9 років тому

Gorgeous! I hope I can swim with these gentle giants someday, too.

@smilesarah710 11 років тому

Is that a new tail? Either way it's gorgeous :)

@dangappa 11 років тому

I read about this in a scuba magazine. The locals offer the whale sharks handfulls of shrimp from their catch. It's consistent enough to offer tourists guaranteed swimming with these amazing animals. It brings them some income and shows off the beauty of these animals. The island is in the Philippines I think. If you go there you too can swim (like a mermaid) with the fishes....

@aquamarine277835 11 років тому

How do you train yourself to do that? I can swim, but how do you hold your breath like that? And the saltwater with your eyes? and the depth, how do you train yourself to dive seep? It's so beautiful, I've been inspired to follow my dream and swim and protect the oceans.

@madameauringlocsin9248 10 років тому

so that's here in the Philippines! WOW! :D

@fernandocisneros5221 10 років тому

@lydiamichailidoy6947 8 років тому

Am I the only one wondering how could she hold her breath for so long?

@user-fm4kw3er7o 8 років тому

+Lydia Michailidoy Like this

@hkh062602 8 років тому

She holds her breath for 90 seconds at a time and i think either the crew thats with her gives her gulps of air or she goes to the surface

@ro-bet8916 8 років тому

Some real life mermaids can hold breath for a minute or two then come up. Takes ALOT of training though

@roguesinthailand7023 8 років тому

+Lydia Michailidoy its taken me 9 months but i can hold my breath when swimming for 2 and a half min xx

@DeepSeaHorror 7 років тому

i started swimming when i was 4 and can stay underwater for a long while, when you spend a lot of time doing it your lungs get used to not having air in them for some minutes!

I would be scared to do that with tiger sharks like what she did. She is so amazing and brave to do what she can do

@Mrswebkinzlover99 9 років тому

They're actually whale sharks. She probably wouldn't be swimming with REAL tiger sharks.

This is my dream, whale sharks are the most beautiful creatures to me, and I want to raise awareness for both them and their seas. I can't wait until my first monofin arrives, and I can start my own mer journey!
