Just this week, divers with Seahorse Dive Shop in Placencia captured breathtaking footage of a whale shark gliding through the deep blue, sparking awe among locals and international adventurers alike. Why Whale Sharks Love BelizeWhale sharks are filter feeders that follow the spawning of cubera snappers, a biological event that takes place around the full moon near the Gladden Spit and Silk Cayes Marine Reserve. Why Belize Hub Recommends Whale Shark DivingThis is more than just a bucket list item. Whale shark season in Belize is a marine event like no other, and we want you to be a part of it. Come for the whale sharks, stay for the reef, the food, and the people.
