Donsol, located in the coastal province of Sorsogon, offers thrill seekers the opportunity to dive with the world\u2019s largest shark; the <em>Jaws-dropping<\/em>\u00a0whale shark. Growing to the hefty size of a school bus, these mind blowing creatures may seem scary, but actually they feed primarily on plankton, so you can stop panicking now! This <em>fin-tastic<\/em> experience doesn\u2019t have to compromise your morals either, because in Donsol they practice ethical shark diving and avoid baiting or feeding the animals.
