Hi,
I work for the new Whale Shark and Oceanic Research Center on Utila, an island located 18 miles off the shore of Honduras. www.wsorc.com
I am writing because we are lucky enough to have Whale Sharks visit our island for most of the year, from September through to May mainly with high season from March through May. As the only organisation in Honduras with a permit to research these amazing animals (truely gentle giants) we want to let the diving world know that we exist and they are here!
We offer Whale Shark Distinctive Specialties and an opportunity to participate on the only licenced research boat operating in the area. This not only offers you the opportunity to see these creatures feeding in their natural environment, but also to actively assist us in our afforts to tag and monitor them for truely scientific purposes.
By visiting us you will be supporting these conservation efforts and have a chance to dive one of the lesser known Caribbean islands.
I look forward to sharing some amazing underwater experiences with you!
