Oslob is located in the southern part of Cebu in the Philippines. It is famous for its whale sharks, so people from all over the world gather here to see them. Although the Whale Shark is huge, it is gentle and lovely. They only open their mouths to prey on plankton and small fish, so there is no reason to be afraid of them. It is not wise to swim too close to them as there is a change you may be hit by one of their large tail fins. Whale sharks don’t have many natural enemies and the main reason for their decline is human whaling. When caught, the flesh of the whale shark is eaten and their fins are sometimes cut to make shark fin dishes. The whale sharks need our protection.

It is best to watch the whale shark time in the morning. Generally, the whale shark will not be able to come out after eating in the afternoon.
Small black boating to send us to the snorkeling point, it will be less than ten minutes after listening to the staff to pay attention to matters, life jackets and glasses are free.
Snorkeling price is 1000 pesos/person, the deep dive price is about 2800 pesos/person, the price of the boat is not 500 pesos/person, and the time is about 30-40 minutes.
We bought a snorkeling ticket in the hall, put on their life jackets and frog mirrors, and sat in a small black boat to watch the points.
I buried my head in the water, and soon I saw a whale shark swimming to us. The first time I saw such a big animal, I was so excited that I couldnt.
There is a small black dedicated to feeding, rowing a boat, putting food into the sea, and the whale sharks are foraging behind the boat. The
whale shark is much bigger than I thought. Every time I pass this big monster, my heart is both nervous and excited.

Additional Information
Introduction
Oslob Whale Shark Watching point is located in the southern part of the province of Cebu. It was originally a small fishing village. Later, when whale sharks were found, the villagers fed whale sharks and gradually developed a "free-range" whale shark watching point. You can go whale shark watching on a boat, or you snorkel or dive and swim with whale sharks. You have to set out early in the morning to see the whale sharks as that's when they can be observed.

Unbelievable experience, I needed to wait for a couple of hours but it was worth it. Those giants were really awesome! I definitely recommend everybody to experience it!!!
we went there early in the morning around 6am and we were among the first to hop on the boat. There's a sudden scary feeling when you see these beautiful creatures but it's worth it. anyone traveling to Philippines should do snorkling with these shark whales. i highly recommend it. - from Nepal
One of the best part of my trip. Whether you’re a professional swimmer or not. It is an experience you want to try being in Cebu.
Great experience of a lifetime with these amazing creatures. I would have preferred to come off peak to have better pictures WITH the sharks.
