The whale shark is the largest living shark and biggest fish in our oceans. Whale sharks are found in warm tropical waters where the water temp is often around 27oc. The northern penninsula of Yucatan, Mexico attracts the sharks on a yearly basis from the months of june through to september for a plankton feeding fest.
The waters located at 45mins from north Cancun are very rich in plantkton whale sharks, manta rays and dolphin. In the summer months this is one of the best places in the world to view and snorkel with the gentle giants.
The whale shark is a filter feeder. It swims with its mouth open ‘sucking' in the food from the surface or just below. This fact makes snorkeling the ideal activity to watch these animals in their true beauty.
The sharks can reach lengths up to 35ft and weigh as much as 12 tons, they have a pattern of lines and spots in their skin that enables them to blend wth their surroundings. In the summer months we can view up to 30 whale sharks on a daily basis, they are there to eat!
Every year from may is possible to see these wonderful species that let the lovers of the seas enjoy this natural show. When the sharks whales come out to feed themselves of plankton these really big fishes scare and contrast with their peaceful attitude. This make us feel a unique sensation of the beauties and mysteries that the ocean world gives.
