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.
i was living in Dubai for 8 years and dived every weekend and never saw one but i have many diver buddies who have spotted plenty its all about luck dec -jan seams to be the most favored time having said that i know live in Qatar and saw one last week.
by the way if you are looking for a good dive center try these Divers down
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!
