IncludedJoin us on an unforgettable adventure as we dive with the largest fish in the sea—whale sharks! Every year, during the full moons of March, April, May, and June, these gentle giants gather at Belize’s Gladden Spit Marine Reserve. Snorkelers and divers alike can witness this incredible sight while exploring one of the world’s most unique dive spots.
Despite their size, whale sharks are harmless and even playful. You can safely swim alongside them as they feed on snapper eggs during their annual visit. Gladden Spit is one of the few places where you can experience this magical encounter, surrounded by schools of spawning fish.
Pioneered by Brian Young Sr. of Seahorse Dive Shop, these expeditions have become a must-do for any diving enthusiast. And even if you don’t spot a whale shark, the dive is still unforgettable, with possible sightings of dolphins, reef sharks, and vibrant schools of fish.
When to Visit? Plan your trip around the full moon in March, April, May, or June for the best chance to swim with these majestic creatures, with April and May offering peak opportunities.
Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
