Whales sharks everywhere! What a great trip!

Yesteray I took a family of 7 to go snorkel with the whale sharks. Have a look at some of the footage we got...just amazing!

wowwwwwww...what a sight for those of us that have never experienced it. was that footage from yesterday?

the soundtrack....porcelain (by moby)...brilliant track...but damn if it didn't bring me down watching that vid.

ana, thinks moby's "feeling so real" would suit the video

Very cool! Out by Holbox, or where are they right now? Where do your tours leave from?

Makes me want to do it again. Such an amazing experience.

I use a private marina north of cancun. Then we shoot out about 25 miles N by NE. After about an hour or so we spot them. Just awesome! We slow the engies down and putput over two them. This family that went on this particular day had a 6 year old with them. He LOVED it!

The whale sharks are amazing, we swam with them last summer at Wimmen's Week. I would so totally go again! Words just can't describe the experience!

i may contact you privately about your aversion to said PCB operation,

but who (company/business) WOULD you give your pesos to for the same adventure?

DH, your 'input' seems to me to be rude, inappropriate and just plain unnecessary.

If it is something legit and confirmed, share with everyone, Phil. If it's just some hearsay or personal BS, then maybe you should STFU.

Really DH? Where exactly is the office for Geofish? They have closed their shop. And one of their guides stood up a whole group of divers, not what I would call a professional or "excellent" staff. I do have an office and it's located at La Tarraya restaurant...the same place I have been working from for 8 years. Get your facts straight!

My thoughts exactly. If there is something that went really wrong, like he stole your money or left you at sea, please share. If it's just a personal vendetta, please keep it to yourself and off the board.
