Since a whale shark is really a shark rather than a whale (mammal) it does all its breathing through its gills. Although a whale shark can come to the surface, it does not need to do so in order to breath like a whale would. With that in mind, a whale shark can stay underwater from the moment it is born until the minute it dies of injury, disease, or old age. Since the life expectancy of a whale shark is around 70 years, that works out to be around 36,792,000 minutes.
Whale Sharks are Sharks "big as a whale". They Breathe with gills and don't have to Surface. They often do though, b/c they find a lot of food Close to the Surface.
bouyancy
If you were swallowed by a whale, you would most likely be lodged in its throat. You would have no air, and neither would the whale, so, in time, you would both die. Why do you ask?
A whale uses a respitory system to acquire oxygen, so a whale needs to rise to the surface to inhale more air, so that it's cells can continue to live.
Whales make a footprint which is visible on the surface of the water; a circular area where the surface of the water is smoother than the surrounding water. The whale's tail creates a vortex as it moves through the water just below the surface.
