Tourists flock to hand feed whale sharks off the island of Cebu, Philippines

Tan-awan, in the southern Philippines island of Cebu, used to be a sleepy village that never saw tourists unless they were lost or in transit. Yet now they flock there by the hundreds - to swim with whale sharks, the world's largest fish. Whale sharks are lured to the Tan-awan coastline of the Oslob district by fishermen who hand-feed them small shrimp, drawing divers and snorkellers to see the gentle giants of the sea.
