Hi Maggie,
There is a winter migration through Placencia, Belize as they follow spawning tuna. I've done the spring migration & they were there.
Contact Brian Young at Seahorse Dive Shop (http://www.belizescuba.com) & tell him what you're looking for. I wrote up my trip in "Undercurrent," and can send you a copy once you've made some basic decisions.
BTW, re a non-diver---Placencia is very, very quiet.
Best of luck.

Hi Maggie!
I will be going to dive with the Whale Sharks near Okinawa Japan in the next two weeks. I will post a dive report when I get back!

The first article also mentions a reef in Australia where you can see them too.

If you want to know where you can see whale shark, you go on http://www.oceanes.com and you choose on the left "whale shark" and you will know all the place in the world where you have a chance to see one.

Hi Antoine,
I suspect that many divers on this US based, English language board would not know that the French for whaleshark is "baleine à bosses." Even after determining this, a search for the term under the "Choose your favorite animal" function yields the message "ERROR: Invalid HTP Request."
I notice that over the past several days you & others have repeatedly brought attention to this website on a large number of scuba boards, not to mention several personal e-mails to me. While I can understand your enthusiasm, I would politely suggest that for the present some of your efforts might better go into improvements in the site.
Best of luck with it--mieux de la chance.

Hi
First whale shark in french is Requin baleine and not baleine à bosse which is humpbacked whale.
Second I have nothing to do with this website but the thing I don't understand is that there is an english version so why are you looking for the french word.
When I connect myself to this website I am in english and I chose whale shark and I have the information.
Anyway maybe they still have some problem with their website as you say
Cheers
