Hello Everyone,
I am scheduled to return to Belize for the fourth time in three years to observe/photograph the whale sharks & their interaction with Cubera snapper. Whale sharks typically arrive during the full moon weeks of March, April, May and June each year to feed on the eggs of mating Cubera & Dog snapper, with April & May being the best months historically. I have seen the sharks on at least 75% (if not more) of my dives there. There have even been dives when as many as five whale sharks showed up at the same time.
Images from the May 2004 trip can be viewed at (three of these were published in the August issue of Scuba Diving Magazine in an article on the whale sharks of Belize; a colleague, Doug Perrine, had a similar article published in the August issue of Sport Diver):
