Swimming with whale sharks has got to be on most people’s must-do lists. This video is the next best thing: try to forget that winter is wailing away outside, and pretend you’re floating in warm, crystal-clear waters off the coast of Mexico.
This gorgeous drone footage of divers swimming with a group (shoal? pod?) of whale sharks is the most calming thing in the world. (Except for when one diver gets a little too close – buddy, you do know that this guy’s mouth is bigger than you are, right?)
There’s no soundtrack, so I suggest you make a playlist of your favourite instrumental songs and watch this a few times over until your heart-rate is as slow and methodical as a large fish. Seriously, these guys are better than manatees.
