First of all I`d like to thank Alejandra, Liza, Claudia, Bernardo, Jorge, Sabrina, Susana, Alex, Alejandro, Juan Carlos y Juan Carlos Jr for making possible another Dive Encounters expedition happen.
On this occasion we set out from Cancun where we sailed 15miles Northwest from Isla Mujeres to open water. It`s a warm clear blue water area where the whale shark can be located.
Our three day adventure went the following way:Day 1
It was a sunny day with low winds. We sailed very smoothly reaching our destination without any problems. At arrival we were amazed that over a hundred whale sharks were swimming around us. Without wasting any more time we began snorkeling with them. Sharks were swimming all around us, on top of us, beneath us, next to us, they were everywhere!. It was pure ecstasy! We swam with the biggest fishes in the sea for more than three hours!
Day 2The winds were stronger which made our mailing harder, as the waves were bigger. However we were able to find the sharks without having to look too much for them. From 25 to 30 sharks swam with us until we were exhausted!
Day 3The water returned to its usual calmness. We counted 65 sharks which made us think that over 100 sharks were in that spot. The water was clear blue. We were amazed on the beauty of Mexico!
We headed back home very happy and satisfied that once again our formula on how to find the right species in the correct spots and seasons worked perfectly!
Thanks to everyone that made this adventure possible and we hope that you can join us again!
