New whaleshark team in town, and these guys are very different.
I encourage you to check out their website and investigate further for yourselves. They have a revolving staff of marine biologists and researchers on board, but they only ‘go out’ 2 – 3 times a week, so you will need to be organised in advance.
Below is an excerpt taken from their website:
Unlike any other ‘swim with whale sharks’ tour on the Ningaloo, Oceanwise Expeditions combine ecotourism and marine research to facilitate education and conservation, helping to protect whale sharks and the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area

Also have a look at their free photos gallery…shots of the whaleshark are magnificent! http://www.flickr.com/photos/oceanwise_expeditions
