I didn't even know he was there!
The sea lions were naturally curious about the whale shark, but the whale didn't appear interested in the sea lions or the divers.
However it did seem fascinated by the boats: it swam up to my boat and bit the propeller!
I'm on the left, blowing lots of bubbles haha.
For some reason I want to believe that I once saw a hexagonal whale shark spot pattern, but this one is a checkerboard pattern, as are all the other photos I can find.
A whale shark right on the La Paz Malecon! (my photo)
