So we still don't have a government statement on whether non-Holbox boats can enter the Whaleshark park?
Compliance with the conditions laid down in permits.
Limit the number of boats in the area of whale shark sighting.
Not allow the use of vessels over 12m. or 40 feet.
There will be a maximum of 1 boat per whale shark.
I wonder if the Mujeres and Holbox boats don't subscribe to the same spotter plane service? Even if the boats don't go to the same areas, one plane can cover a lot of ocean top and those big boys are easy to spot. Have you ever swam with them Gordy? It really is a treat.I'd be willing to bet that they use spotter planes to direct the boats to where the sharks are.
Isla Holbox is the OPPOSITE of Cancun, Isla Mujeres & Cozumel.
