Meet Utila's whalesharks

From the Web site of Deep Blue Utila:

Surprisingly not much is actually known about the world's largest fish. Whale sharks have recently become protected in Honduras and Utila is on their main migratory path. A scuba diving vacation with Deep Blue Utila will provide you with the opportunity of seeing and even snorkelling with these awesome creatures.

Our Utila Whale Shark Research Project over the next five years will provide new information to add to the slowly growing knowledge base. Photographs taken of the Utila whale sharks are being added to ECOCEAN, an international whale shark database. In 2007 a whale shark was tracked through three different countries, this is the first time this has happened anywhere in the world.

Meet the 84 identified Utila sharks here.
