Diver Catches Award Winning Shot After Hearing 'Whale Shark, Right Behind You!'
By Matthew Russell

Baudin was diving off the coast of Baja California, Mexico, with a special permit. He intended to study how marine wildlife behaviors had changed as COVID-related restrictions reduced shipping traffic.
“After two hours in the water with a school of silky sharks near the surface, our boat captain yelled, ‘Whale shark, right behind you!'” Baudin said.
The whale shark approached with its mouth open wide, giving Baudin a once-in-a-lifetime view of a unique symbiotic relationship.
“The surprise was twofold when I discovered about 50 remoras peacefully enjoying a free ride in her mouth!” he said.
