GoPro Awards: Ocean Ramsey and a Whale Shark

Captured and submitted by GoPro Awards recipients Ocean Ramsey and Juan Oliphant. 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.

Check out my snorkeling videos aswell. They are recent! Also saw a whaleshark!
Wht a beautiful and cracful creature that is
Went twice in 3 weeks. I followed
all rules. Nobody should touch these gentle giants. Butandings
(whale sharks) are truly amazing.
The little place is a fairyland of
exquisite beauty. The nearby
Sumilon Island is another enchanted place. WOW!
Hey, there's a whale over there - anyone notice that? Ah, who cares about that.

Als ob zwei außerirdische engelgleiche Wesen
sich zum Pas de deux verabredet hätten --- Klasse !!!
the sharks kinda cool too
A team there called LAMAVE (Marine Conservation NGO) is doing great work to document these human interactions with these sharks to understand the full impacts of this sort of eco-tourism over a long period of time. However this 'shark biologist' has done no scientific work or documentation on the whale sharks at Oslob at all and has simply just come for a easy way to 'swim' with juvenile whale sharks.
If Ocean Ramsey were a marine biologist, she would understand not to promote this kind of activity on youtube as it has potentially harmful environmental impacts for both the sharks that are unnaturally having their behaviour altered there as well as the damage to the ecosystem caused by overfishing.
You say biologist wouldn't promote such behavior, then surely all the divers for BBC and Nat Geo Planet that swim with Sharks, Piranahs, Alligatets, and thousands of dangerous fish and mammals are also fakes.
You can't speak for a group of people as you only speak for yourself. To go a step further, you don't even belong to that group of people in the first place.
While the impact of human interaction with nature is very real in your statement, you miss the entire point of her goal. I bet you'd also tell that man that was accepted by a lion pride, or the man and women accepted by a pack of wolves the same. You clearly don't understand the goal here and maybe you should do some research. Ramseys actions alone have helped millions fall in love with Sharks and want to protect sharks, which is something you can only dream and hope of ever doing.
Please don't touch wildlife. "Look but don't touch" is a pretty simple rule, and it is an imperative. Sure, one single gentle touch to the pectoral fin will probably not harm or significantly stress the animal, but how many people will watch this video and think maybe it's okay to touch a whale shark should they get to encounter one? And that could lead to direct harm such as infection or injury or just stress, or indirect harm such as changes in behavior.
Not cool.
When she is described as a "shark biologist", I would have expected the freediver to know better. :-/
LOVE YOU OCEAN RAMSEY
Just a question: do you always dive with earings and necklace on ?
I...I would really love to swim with that whale shark but...I'm afraid I won't be able to contain my zoophilia. Especially after seeing how sweet a 69 would feel 01:10
I figured you were talking about the girl in the video...but nope.......
Director: Uh...yeah totally. It's for your safety.
It was really the best experience I've had and the best encounter I'll probably ever get..
Not you there xp
Oh, phew, false alarm. False alarm everybody.
(the Bohr effect). Hyperventilation leads to decreased co2 levels and an increased rate of o2 depletion. When you add these two effects together you end up with the urge to breath coming later in the dive coupled with a lower hypoxic threshold; a perfect recipe for shallow water black out.

2 minutes is a long time
Got salt?
Did someone piss in your cereal this morning or are you always this douchey?
