What looks like a microscopic, insignificant dot on a map, is in fact 122 km-squared of fascinating history, endemic birds and fish, and the only place in the world where male and female adult whale sharks are seen in equal numbers during an annual aggregation between January and March. Coupled with regular sightings of pregnant females, this has led to recent speculation that the island may be the specie’s hitherto unfound breeding ground. Other than the Galapagos, it is the only place to our knowledge where you can frequently encounter adult whale sharks on scuba. The biggest we have seen so far was a 13-metre mamma-to-be. Multiple encounters on a dive are not uncommon, and on snorkel trips seeing a dozen or more happens regularly in peak season.
We have spaces left on our St Helena trips in 2019 and 2020, the best place in the world to dive with adult Whale Sharks. Also great for dolphins, wrecks, endemic fish, and lots of history, all on a unique and friendly island.
