They both spent three days and three nights in the "deep". Jonah three days in depths of the sea, in the belly of the fish (the Bible does not say whale) and Jesus three days in the depths of the earth.

How did Christ fully accomplish the sign of Jonah in death?
As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so Jesus was three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth
What did Jesus say about Jonas?
Do you mean Jonah? When Jesus was asked for a "miraculous sign", he told the people that none would be given except the sign of Jonah. Then he explained that just as Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days, so also would Jesus be in the "heart of the earth" for three days (Matthew 12:38-40). He also said that as Jonah was a sign to Ninevah, Jesus also was a sign to this generation (Luke 11:29-31).
Who in the Bible was swallowed by a whale and lived?
Jonah...Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.Answer:The inspired scripture doesn't say "whale." It says that God "...PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Jonah..." (Jonah 1:17).It doesn't reveal what kind of fish... or if this "special" fish is extant today as a species.Nor does it say that Jonah was alive for those three days and three nights in the fish's belly. We are only told that in the fish's belly Jonah prayed... but not for how long.Jesus gave the "sign of Jonas" as THE ONLY "proof of His Messiahship:"...An evil and adulterous generation SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN; and there shall no sign be given to it, BUT THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS: For AS Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly [again, the inspired word is 'KETOS' -- or, HUGE FISH]; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH." (Matt.12:40)How was Jesus [after the manner of Jonah] in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights? Was He alive... or was He dead?Of course... He was "resurrected" from the dead... just AS Jonah was resurrected when: "...it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land." (Jonah 2:10)If Jonah was alive three days and three nights in the fish's belly... then so was Jesus alive [AS Jonah was] -- which would mean He never paid our ransom... the ONLY SIGN HE GAVE OF HIS MESSIAHSHIP FAILED... and Jesus Christ is not the Messiah.Yes, Jonah lived... but only after he was revived after three days and three nights.
Where is Jonah primarily found in scripture?
In the book of Jonah in the Old Testament, but also a few times as used by Jesus as an analogy of Himself being in the grave three days, just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale.
What connections does the story Jonah and the big fish have to the life and death of Christ?
One connection Jonah has with Jesus Christ is that in Matthew 12:38-40 is that some of the scribes and Pharisees said, "Teacher, we want a sign from you". But Jesus answered, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth".
