In the month of March, April, May and June, Whale Sharks are observed at the Gladden Split by divers and snorkelers. This species, despite its enormous size, does not pose any significant danger to humans. It is a frequently cited example when educating the public about the popular misconceptions of all sharks as ” man-eaters”. They are actually quite gentle and can be playful with divers. Divers and snorkelers can swim with this giant fish without any risk apart from unintentionally being hit by the shark’s large tail fin.
The area is used by over 20 species of Caribbean fish to release their eggs. Because of this unique event the Sharks are attracted to the area to feast on these eggs. Even if no Whale Shark are spotted, divers will have quality encounters with large schools of fish that are in the area to spawn.
The whale shark tours to Gladden Split are lead by well trained whale shark guides to ensure your safety and the safety of the sharks. The best dates for sighting these majestic creatures are listed below. Come, and join us as we go in search for the biggest fish in the sea.
