    Hi All,
    I finally got my sighting last weekend in the Musandam of a 5m Whale Shark, perhaps the same one you spotted Rudybier? A fantastic experience, he swam with us for about 20 mins!

    Apparently last month (May) there were many more whale sharks in the area, and the month for spotting them off Muscat is July. I'm not sure about the Abu Dhabi coast.

    In the last 2 years the most sightings of these juvenile whale sharks has been April to September, during the hot periods. Best spots to see them are at Lima Rock and Octopus rock!
