Our guide, as well as the diver who led us to the whale sharks was amazing. They worked very hard to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. We were able to see several whale sharks, and get very close to them as well. What I didn’t expect was the number of boats and people who were also doing the same thing as we were. Between the people, the other boats, and the somewhat rough waters it was a little nerve-racking. The first time my husband and I entered the water, we were a little overwhelmed. The second time out the guy took me by the hand, and it was a much more pleasant experience. No fault of anyone, but several people on our boat were seasick. Dramamine is a good idea if you’re sensitive to the motion of the waves. After we saw the whale sharks we went back to Isla Mujeres, and were able to swim in the calm waters of the island . We then had a wonderful lunch, and headed back to Cancun. It truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity, though I wish we had more time in the water and less people and boats to deal with.
