A diver in Thailand got whipped by a massive whale shark in Thailand.

In the video, filmed on April 14, a group of divers encounter a whale shark at the dive site of Richelieu Rock in the Andaman Sea when one of them gets whipped by a shark's tail fin - at around 2mins 40secs in the video.

Writes the filmer: "I think the length of the whale shark is about five metres, at a depth of 12-25 metres."
