The Sea of Cortez is known for encounters with Whale Sharks. The whale shark is the largest shark and the biggest fish in the Ocean. The Whale Shark is a filter feeder using his enormous mouth (up to 4 feet wide) to ingest clouds of plankton as he swims through the Sea.
We have seen Whale Sharks up to 50 feet in length, (Females are larger than males), weighing up to 15 tons, but 25 – 30 feet is more common. It is truly the largest fish in the world.
While we have encountered Whale Sharks on all of our divesites the most likely time and place to swim with one of these gentle giants is on our weekly Whale Shark Trips to La Paz, which we run from October thru December.
