However, not 500 miles south of the US border in Bahia de Los Angeles we have Whale Sharks. We would love to guarantee their presence for you, but although they are frequent visitors in the summer months, it is never prudent to guarantee.

Sure, we would really prefer you come with us to dive with Whale Sharks and Mantas in Baja, but we would be remiss if we did not tell you about the offer that the Georgia Aquarium is selling for about $325; Yes, you can dive in their big tank with the Whale Sharks and Mantas!

They are in a tank, right? So no need to worry if they are not there, or have migrated South for better hunting grounds. The other animals you experience are Hammerheads, Napoleon wrasse as well as countless reef species. The are all right there, in front of you without the need for $3000 live-a-board or looong 14 hour flights to remote destinations – they are right THERE.


There is a great write-up and review that can be found here (scubanews.com). The Georgia Aquarium also has a direct link to this program, that can be found here (georgiaaquarium.org).

So if you want to be guaranteed Whale Sharks, I would suggest that this is the place to go!
