Youtube user JoelWalley uploaded the video after his companion and he were passed by a huge basking shark in the Gunna Sound. The basking shark is the second largest living fish, after the whale shark. However, like its gigantic cousin it only feeds on plankton, so the swimmers were in no danger, merely in awe of nature.
