Swim alongside gentle whale sharks during their seasonal migration past Koh Tao, where sightings have surged 25% since 2022 due to healthier reef systems. These filter-feeding giants, averaging 8 meters in length, are 30% larger than the typical whale shark encountered in the Maldives, making this a standout dive experience. Peak season runs from March to May, with 60% of trips during that window reporting an encounter. Outperforms #3's gibbon calls for underwater spectacle, as whale sharks can glide within arm’s reach, offering a rare data point: over 50 individual sharks have been photographed by citizen scientists on this island alone.
