Swimming with Whale Sharks

On our cruise we had the opportunity to swim with whale sharks.

After we arrived in Cozumel we took a ferry over to Playa del Carmen. Once there we took a nice little van ride over to Cancun and then got into a little speed boat to begin our journey. (Lots of traveling)

Every year from mid-May to mid-September Whale Sharks travel to where the Caribbean Sea meets the Gulf of Mexico. This is where we met our Whale Sharks.

We spent most of the day swimming with them.

Swim with Whale Sharks. Scratch that off the bucket list.

It was beyond amazing! They are beautiful creatures. Huge and serene. It was an amazing opportunity and very well worth it. If you are ever down near Cozumel/Cancun in the summer I highly suggest taking this opportunity.

I am including a really raw video! We basically jumped off the back of a moving boat to swim with these guys! Enjoy, it is pretty awesome! Such an adrenaline rush!


Here is a picture showing the size of this big guy
