How Could I Not See a Whale Shark...?

---

they are the biggest fish in the world...measuring up to 40 - 60 ft.

Spent semana santa (Easter Week) on the island of Utila in search of the ever elusive and shy whale shark...but never saw one. Stayed on Pigeon Cay (island) a short distance off the coast of Utila...dove every day...chatted with interesting characters...and ate the local "cuisine". Captain Morgans provided a great small dive boat, and professional dive Masters. I never went to the same site more than 1ce in the 10 consecutive dives I did.

No whale shark...but lots of beautiful coral, fish, underwater formations, sponges etc etc.

Saw a school of over 30 dolphins on my last day and snorkelled with them.

The reef and snorkelling right out the front door. Nice place to hang and soak in the sun.
