Specialty Tour
During this time many species of fish, specifically the mutton snapper, use the Gladden Split as a spawning area where they release their eggs. Here, we see whale sharks arrive to feed on these eggs. Whale sharks can be as long as 30 feet. Despite its gigantic size, whale sharks are known to be gentle and curious which make for an interesting dive. When diving for whale sharks you will also see huge schools of fish along this 26-mile long stretch.
This 2-tank dive site can be reached quite easily from Hopkins as it is located along the Southern coast of the Belize reef.
For those interested in snorkeling, the Belize Whale Shark Dive Tour can also be offered as a Snorkeling Tour.
