I spent a week on Isla Majures, off Cancum, Mexico, on a trip organised by http://www.aquafirma.co.uk and lead by marine biologist Simon Pierce, founder of http://www.megafaunafoundation.org, and local Whale Shark researcher Rafael de la Parra. We snorkeled with Whale Sharks, the largest fish in the sea; some were about 10 metres in length. It was an incredible experience to be close up with such an extraordinary large creatures.
According to the books, whale sharks are solitary creatures, but off Cancum they congregate in fantastic numbers feeding on Tuna spawn. There were about 400 whale Sharks around our boat on one day. They were not at all interested in our presence so close to them; they just continued feeding with their mouths wide open filtering the Tuna spawn from the water.
