Whale! No, Shark! No, Whale-Shark! YES!
You may have realised if you’ve seen the photos recently, but we when snorkelling with a Whale-Shark last week and it was unreal! This was one huge fish. probably about as long as an 18 seater mini bus and as wide as a smart car! Sorry for the random automobile size comparisions.

It wasn’t the cheapest escursion to do in Mexico, but we were both to excited to miss it. We were in Isla Mujeres for a few days, which is just off the coast of Mexico very close to Cancun when we rose early to get down to the harbour. After about 2 hours looking for the little blighters we eventually spotted one after several false alarms, which turned out to be Dolphins. I’ve managed to upload a video to youtube.com, which is below, you can just about make it out on the video, then for some reason about halfway through I have some kind of spaz attack and the camera goes everywhere for a few seconds.
