I think its different when you are in a tank. Its probably used to people in it cleaning and what not.
Last summer we saw a 25footer off of Pensacola Beach. I was so tempted to jump in but the seas were just too rough. We cruised along side of her for an hour. It was by far the most breath taking sight I have seen.
They must be hard up for money. I wouldn't worry about the whale sharks, I'd be more worried about the other sharks in the tank coming up and checking out a diver.
Very few places will allow diving with captive sharks - and USUALLY it's a well run, very restricted program. Then again, on the other hand - I know of places that will do anything for an extra dime.
