Diving with a sedated whale shark

If diving with a Whale Shark is one of the grails of open water, then diving with a sedated on has to be an experience to remember.

The Georgia aquarium has several Whale Sharks. A 22 footer named Ralph received a medical exam yesterday - it involved over 50 personnel and an incredible 1500 gallons of anesthetic laced water for a two hour procedure.

That had to be an incredible experience. I had no idea that anyone had a Whale Shark that large in captivity. I'll have to add the Georgia Aquarium to my list of places to visit. [Via CNN.com]
