About this site
Whale Shark Point lies off the coast of Quintana Roo, in the stretch of Caribbean waters near Cancun and Isla Mujeres known for seasonal whale shark aggregations. This part of the Yucatan Peninsula coastline sits along a channel between the mainland and the offshore islands, an area whale sharks pass through as they follow plankton blooms. The site is rated a beginner dive, making it accessible to those with limited experience.
