whale shark
Finally!
After so many months of hanging out in Roatan we finally saw a whale shark. 2005 was not a good year for whale sharks. Only 1 or 2 were spotted around Roatan, and none of them by us. But today, on the way to the wreck, Jose, the boatman, noticed a lot of fish jumping on the surface. It was "boiling" with fish, and we went to investigate. And there he was, 30 Ft long but not too willing to socialize. But nearly everybody had a good look before more boats arrived and he or she took off. We still went on to the wreck and had a good dive there.
What a lovely day.
