Fun Times with Whale Sharks of Oslob, Cebu

I and my girlfriend, Coleen, had the chance to swim in the clean waters of Oslob, Cebu and witness the gigantic whale sharks enjoying their time near the coastline. According to the locals, tourists aren’t back yet in numbers as large as pre-pandemic, but local and foreign travelers alike have begun trickling back in. The fewer number of people allowed us the chance to spend “quality time” with the whale sharks, locally called “butanding,” which willingly or unwillingly joined us for souvenir underwater photos! The local fisherfolk and boatmen are more than happy to help tourists capture the rare moments through the GoPro cameras available for rent!
