Stunning GoPro Footage of a Professional Freediver Swimming With Gentle Giant Whale Sharks

Marine conservationists and professional freedivers Ocean Ramsey and Juan Oliphant have captured with their GoPro Hero4, amazing footage of Ramsey swimming with and alongside gentle whale sharks in the waters of the Philippines.

Join shark biologist and freediver Ocean Ramsey as she films with whale sharks in the Philippines to document migrating populations. Whale shark populations are at an all-time low due to finning, fishing by catch, entanglement, speedboat prop collisions, and death by ingestion of floating debris.
