After reading about the num-nutz who said that artificial reefs don't provide habitat for fish, I was going to feature otolithe's fish-filled shot of the Ennerdale wreck as proof against his argument. However, I stopped dead when I saw his glorious whale shark image.

Captured in the Seychelles, I'm in awe that this fish -- an astounding 8.5-meter female -- is so huge that it creates its own ecosystem. Check out all the other fish swimming around her, like moons rotating around a planet. Awesome. According to otolithe, the whale shark approached to within 3 feet before diving into the deep blue. I'm sure otolithe forgot to breathe.

Got your own shots of huge fish? Add 'em to Divester's Flickr group and let us all gape.
