Scouts with some tourists went out to look for the whale sharks yesterday, while other boats were looking elsewhere, our Capitan Juan, with all the years of experience and our own human 'g.p.s.' found a small group of three, no groups surrounding, water is warm enough for Plankton, We believe that this sighting was an encounter of the searchers from both the whale sharks looking for Plankton and our group. ~

A must do, Snorkel and interact with the biggest fish known to man, the WHALE SHARK. Swim with them, be close to them, add this as a plus to your vacation in Cancun, or to your diving package, or make this unique experience your main reason to visit the area!!

Swim with this giant and witness them feed off one of the smallest organisms known as Plankton that concentrates in this areas, the WHALE SHARKS swim towards the plankton with their huge filter feeding mouths. Although very big, they are slow travelers, their routes and migrations are still a mistery although they stay in this warm waters from June to September.
