I was almost frozen with fear and panic as a huge shark, jaws gaping, drifted towards me with the ease and grace of an Olympic Ice skater. I was swimming in the warm waters of Ningaloo Reef off the north west coast of Australia and strangely, after the initial adrenaline rush of excitement and terror, actually enjoyed the experience.

Something special happens at Ningaloo Reef between March and June every year. It's so special it lures people from all over the world. They come to dive and swim with whale sharks, the world's largest fish, more than 12m long and weighing more than 11 tonnes. Whale sharks are found in few parts of the world and in only one part of Australia, so swimming with them is a rare privilege shared by the fortunate few. To share the ocean with these gentle giants is a breathtaking experience and thankfully their diet is plankton or krill, not humans. Whale sharks have never been...more
