Placencia in March, Whale Shark dives?

[Swelbo1]

For those of you who have been in Placencia in March for the whale shark dives, historically, how have the sightings been? We were in Placencia last April, but missed the full moon. I do realize that the best times are in April and May full moons, we will not be able to go in those months.

More days of sightings are seen in April and May but whale sharks do come in March and June. The dates for 2011 are March 16th - March 26th
April 15th - April 25th
May 14th - May 24th
June 13th - June 23rd
Splash boats are equiped with fish finders which help us find the snapper which lead or very experienced dive masters to the whale sharks. You can check us out at Splashbelize.com or contact Patty at patricia@splashbelize.com. Look at our video, it has some good whale shark footage.
