Belize: Gladden Spit and the whale sharks?

[dedhed]

I saw a show on cable about the spring migration of whale sharks to feed on fish spawn off Gladden Spit, Belize. Has anyone seen this phenomonon and how does one get there on the full moons of March, April and May ?

How one gets there on the full moons of March, April or May is by getting out a lunar calendar and planning a trip accordingly.

As to the travel, lodging & diving, you might find my article, "Behemoths in Belize." http://www.undercurrent.org/UCnow/articles/Belize200006.shtml to be informative.

I definitely recommend a whale shark trip at least once in your diving life.

Best regards.

Thanks Doc,

Your UC article is interesting and informative. I've snorkled with Whale Sharks in Utila, but to dive with them would be spectacular. I'm diving in Bonaire next weekso this year is out, next spring Placencia willl be high on my list.
