The summer of a lifetime.

I found Whale Shark Mexico through Oceana and I am so glad I did. From the every first e-mail to the minute they dropped me at the airport for my flight back, the whole team was supportive, understanding and gracious.

I made new friends, tried new food, learned SO much about whale sharks and A LOT of other species. For example, Mobula rays, sea lions, sting rays etc. This was the first time I was snorkeling in the open sea and it was amazing. I really appreciated the team helping me adjust and become comfortable snorkeling.

We went on a boat trip 3 times a week and had 3 camping trips. We participated in an earth day festival in La Paz and went to a eco- conference/protest in Los Cabos. We also had the opportunity to go a trip with EPI to Eu Spiritu Santos Island where we swam with sea lions and had the rare chance to see a pod of Orcas!

During my one month with WSM I got to work with shark identifying software and ofcourse swim with whale sharks. The whole experience is one I will never forget and I would like thank the whole team for everything. The work they do is making a difference and is important in spreading awareness about these gentle giants.
