Me and Marcin love animals and we love encounters with them.
After swimming with whale sharks, we asked ourselves a question: “Who controls the whale shark adventure business? Who cares about the animals?

When we went diving, there were about twenty boats around, each with 10 or 12 people. The boats are small, but have powerful and loud engines plus screaming people on board. There is one more negative aspect: PETROL which is in the water and in the air and simply must have a negative influence on the whale sharks.

I hope that there are some rules connected with organising the encounters with the whale sharks, however, I also know that sometimes money and profits make people blind.

The local people should realize that their sea is magical and they should take care of its creatures before it is too late.

Below, there is a photo of a stray dog in Cancun, near the docks of Ocean Tours boats. The dogs who live there, are the ones which benefit from the whale shark business as they are fed by the tourists.
