Raise the adrenaline in Cancun diving with Whale sharks!

If you come to the northern part of Isla Mujeres in the months between May and September, you will be able to swim close to the imposing, majestic Whale shark, considered the largest in the world. And why in these months? Because in that period of time, there was a lot of plankton in Mexican waters, so many whale sharks gathered there to have a feast.
