G I A N T S - Whale sharks of Isla Mujeres
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- The Yucatan peninsula is one of the busiest tourist destinations in the world and every year just offshore from Cancun, the largest fish in the ocean aggregates in vast numbers to feed.
This very special aggregation is one of only a handful of such known sites where whale sharks aggregate and it has turned into a valuable ecotourism contribution to the local economy.
Filmed on Panasonic GH4 and Canon 7D

Tiny fish: " *AAAHHHH!!!* - hehe hehe... I *LIVED* "
Just swam with a school of them today. Greatest thing I’ve done with my life
Were you in Cancun like this guy?
@@abdiver12 I was! We took a boat about an hour out to sea and found a school of them!
@@flipdinero1638 Very cool. Was the water quite rough or was it calm? Asking because I tend to get seasick!
Jonathan 916 it was pretty calm for the most part
@@flipdinero1638 Good to know, thanks man! I've done it before off Australia and can't wait to try it in Mexico.
Breaks my heart to see them damaged so badly, or sometimes purposefully killed. To me they are the most majestic of sea creatures, almost like the sea gods. They should be respected much more.
These creatures are absolutely stunning. I'd love to swim that close to them.
Sonic Rainboom I've swam close to one before
Sonic Rainboom but like I wanna swim next to them to but what if it accidentally SUC U UP
I’m going to
Wesley_out their throats are small and like they want something bigger than shrimp in their mouth
I’ve swam with them both in the wild and in captivity. They are the most amazing animals on the planet. There’s no feeling to describe when you’re swimming and you look to one side and see their eye staring at you.
Whale sharks are cute to me. It's just they have huge mouths and beady eyes and it looks so derpy
And they're so gentle too, they be loving you
swimming with one of these was the most amazing experience in my life
How was it ur lucky
@@waleeh9113 it was amazing.. I met a guy who owned a hotel in Thailand he brought us to an island early in the morning. We swam with them for a good two hours. Best part is it was all free. There were three of them, two adults and a younger one. They usualy come to feed in the morning and circle around these small islands for hours feeding.
I could inbox you where it is but locals really want this spot to be kept secret as much as possible. I rented a car in Bangkok and drove all the way to the islands and one night I randomly found this hotel on booking.
Jay Tremblay could you please inbox me the area :) or email me Charlierios08@gmail.com. This is my dream
Did it a few years ago. Great experience

There so cute I love them
ikr
The most beautiful animal. Only animal that moves me to tears from sight alone
they look like socks
Beautiful video, I was privaledge to swim with these beautiful majestic creatures, a memory I will always treasure. Thank you for sharing.
I went to Cancun one summer and went swimming with whale sharks, and one of them took a crap right in front of me.
It was nasty
Over all though, it was amazing having the opportunity to do something so spectacular
Bungus Squad I went to Cancun too! They have these beautiful creatures there? Great to know! Thanks
Well, that's what the shark thought of you interloping into it's space . Think about it.

From JUNE TO AUGUST , it's whale shark season in CANCUN. So if you want to swim with them, that would be the best time to go. Since they gather in the Caribbean area because it's rich in plankton during that time, they all gather there.
You must have scared the shit out of it.
When a whale shark poos in front of you, you say thank you kind sea giant
I love these guys so much! Thankyou for sharing this.🐾🐳😍
That was so beautiful to watch! Thank you so much for sharing! I was tearing up just watching how beautiful those sharks were! They’re truly a wonder and it’s saddening to hear precautions are taken to prevent harm to these creatures.
That was beautiful. Thank you
Omg! 💞Wow! Amazing beautiful ocean sea 🌊, watching under water such amazing cool and relaxing feelings ever❤️❤️👍big thumbs up for this beautiful vedeo and amazing hard work in capturing underwater beauty 👍new supporters here watching now from Saudi Arabia Riyadh 🇸🇦stay safe evryone and God bless 💞🙏👍+1❤️+1🔔the one who swim underwater with the biggest shark🦈, is really amazing man🏊♀️may God bless and more power and protect you guys🙏
"Look at this majesty of nature. Thousands of years of evolution have produced an event where beautiful, gentle creatures gather in pristine waters. Hold my beer while I crank up this loud ass, fume-spewing motor and get real close"
@Jesse James Awake320 u are as stupid as Trump.
@メンマ Menma Arts evolution is litteraly the biggest proof we have of live dumbass
@メンマ Menma Arts Evolution is the reason we're here.
@メンマ Menma Arts Proof?
@メンマ Menma Arts I was asking you for proof. If anyone Google's about the history of Evolution, there are plenty of credible sources, like the History Channel, Stanford University, and National Geographic. Make an attempt to Google about evolution being untrue, and the results will actually still show why evolution is fact.
Take peppered moths. They were originally light in color, however due to pollution from the industrial revolution, they turned to a much darker color. Birds saw moths less as a result, and natural selection allowed those that experienced the mutation a better chance of survival.
One of the most amazing experiences in my life was swimming with whale sharks
omg, I'm taking the tour in 5 days.... ahhhhh so excited
OMG, yall, this trip was amazing.. worth every penny
Andy Valdez did you get a chance to swim with one?
@@nate0765 I did.. was pretty cool. Very surreal to say the least. I can only imagine what it must be like with Actual Great Whites.. ahh. Next on the bucket list :)
Andy Valdez how big was it up close
@@alpha952 from the top they don't look that big but from the side and once you've jumped in the water, you realize they are huge... longer than say a suburban truck or something
Biggest KNOWN fish
Use boats with water jets no propellers required, same as jet skis!!
I almost cried watching this. They don't harm anyone... why harm them? They are so gentle and watching them is so relaxing. It would be a dream of life to swim with these fish.
I’m going to swim with them soon and I am really excited
Other People: They are so beautiful
Me: This voice is making me want to sleep
Can't understand why no prop protection, or why it's not yet illegal.... Ridiculous....
Swam with these 3 times now in Philippines. Only paddle boats allowed in the vicinity of where they will be.
I hate when I'm just trying to watch a video on whale sharks and at least half the video is some BS about other topics.
Stunning sharks😍😍
2:37 destiny is that you be careful don’t bump it to objects
just did it¿ it was a magical and heartbreaking experience. they are such a wonderful and evoluted creatures
Excellent!
This video is amazing,!
I want to hug one
Great video!! Really loved it !
Nice, we need to Seed the ocean and slow down just Fishing it.
Beautiful film!
Yes
Marvelous
People are so evil how hard is it to a propeller guard so these Beautiful animals don’t get hurt!!!!!!
Hopefully prop guards are mandatory now
*I want to see this beside an Orca and Blue Whale.*
I swim with them every year, Isla Mujeres is much better than swimming with them in Holbox. The water is warm is clear as opposed to cold and green around Holbox. The biggest I saw was around 8m though apparently they get to 12m. Also you will see manta rays too. I recommend www.oceantoursmexico.com/tours/whale-shark-tour/ I have used them about 7 times already, they have noise reduction on their out-board motors and respect the rules for interacting with whale sharks.
I’ve been to this island twice and didn’t know about this. What a shame
Theyre adorable
Hello!
I represent a Real Estate company in Isla Mujeres, Isla Mujeres Luxury Homes. and we will like to add this excellent video to our blog.
Will it be possible?.
Thank you.
Wow thats amazing so beautiful its moth so big 😍
Son muy tiernos
this is so awesome wow
What is that animal called at 1:29????
Sting ray!
@@SVP884 It's an eagle ray, type of sting ray apparently
It's a Spotted Eagle Ray...they really are beautiful, so graceful to watch.
Who else is watching it sitting on a toilet seat ?
I’ve had the privilege of swimming with them right off Isla Mujeres. They congregate right in the area in droves to feed in the summer months. A reputable and responsible tour operator will only let you get into the water with a guide and will forbid you to touch the sharks. If you do they, will have you come back on the boat and will not let you in the water again.
There is in the philippines guys
Awesome!
Can you snorkel with whale sharks in early May?
Check here on YT, Blueworld TV, Whale shark Oslob Philippines.
lovely!!! :) Very nice, hope to film them too soon! Can't wait to get back into the water :)
Why aren’t we making more food for them than control them then everything good they have the number and we get to dive with them ?
I love this sea
whale shark is big but his not that bit cuz whale shark can fit in aquarium
magnificent
Ban any boat that does not comply.. Make laws that will protect these fish and if they are not followed take the boats away from the people That choose to ignore.
1:48 that is fucking beautiful
Echoes Act 3 heck yeah
he is look big but whale shark is bit big but blue whale is the biggest one in ocean
Really

The animal that's in 1:54 is most dangerous!
I am always amazed by whale sharks, I just love them. They are the most gentle creature of all...
Check my channel where I get very very close and personal with whale sharks in Similan Islands, Thailand.
1:05

Narrator sounds like Jeremy Clarkson
👍👍👍
Comment to me if you have the same agreements that Whale Sharks look like Hot Pockets.
this dude can't pronounce spanish properly if it came to life and death LOL
4:42 . . I bet that little fish swam home and poured himself a stiff one.
I believe megalodon was the same size of a whale shark
I love whale sharks.
Blue whale is bigger than megalodon
All the fishes hiding its survival of the fittest for them as well humans and animals lol that’s sad 😞
I want pet him but he’s so big
Whale shark wants to be friends why is it getting hunted
