Whale shark interaction
St Helena is home to the only known seasonal aggregation of adult male and female whale sharks, from January to March. They tend to frequent certain dive sites that are sea mounts or ledges. Current regulations prohibit deliberate SCUBA diving with whale sharks, but permits deliberate snorkelling and chance encounters on SCUBA.
On this trip, we have two planned whale shark snorkels, and if they appear on a dive site whilst we are diving, we are free to stay and enjoy. If the whale sharks happen to be on the dive site when we arrive, we will snorkel with them, and dive after. There are some cool cavern dives, filled with fish, Chilean devil rays, and a handful of historic wrecks.
