Whale sharks, despite their enormous size, pose no danger to humans. Actually, they’re pretty affectionate, and they’re usually playful with divers. This shark is very often observed by divers and tourists aboard boats off the Yucatan Peninsula on Holbox Island.
A bilingual guide will tell you everything you need to know about the whale shark, its behavior, migration and feeding. After it’s time to dive 2 to 3 dives with the whale shark, you enter the water in pairs with the help of the guide. (According to the physical condition of the swimmers). Sometimes you can spot large groups of whale sharks and even giant manta rays, which gives an extra thrill to the adventure.
