Colin, great pics and please post more.

We normally stick to the local dives with Amigos Del Mar in AC but we decided to have an overnight day trip to Placencia.
We were in Placencia just for 1 dsy on the 5th day after the full moon. Normally the sharks are around 4 days before and after the full moon. We were just so lucky..its very hit and miss, some days they don't see anything or only see 1 in the distance. We saw 4 within 5 minutes of being in the water!!
I know Brian keeps detailed logs of what days they see sharks and he can probably advise you on the best time to go.

Well Diving needs is a lot luck, but something special like the Snapper Spawn helps a lot. Brian had said sightings can happen up to 12 days after full moon and are then often for the whole dive then as they're hungry due to less spawn, so I was interested to see where you were in terms of the full moon. Last year having just seen a 35footer glide past I managed to be looking the wrong way as a Great Hammerhead appeared that everyone else saw, and we then we got to play with a pod of Dolphins on the surface at the end - that's a dive that will be tough to beat!!

Our whale shark adventures were on 16 and 17 June.
Full moon was 11 June.
Brian said the whale sharks are around in July also but that the sea state can be a bit rough on divers by then. Seahorse was going to extend it's whale shark dives into July this year - so if you can take the potential of rough seas, you have one more chance to go.
