Nice pictures! Where did you dive with the whale shark? I did a whale shark snorkel trip from Isla Mujeres but diving with them is illegal.

My favorite is the eagle rays. Also, no more spearing lion fish here now. Reef shark was chasing a diver in east end last week to get their lion fish...so now no more lion fish culling while diving with dive companies.

I did my first open water dives a couple years ago in Kona. On the third of the four dive for my certification we were at a site called The Arches. We had gone from the boat out to the rock arches and were just looking around before heading back towards the boat when two huge manta rays passed directly above us heading towards our boat. Naturally we followed in behind them all the way back, about ten minutes swimming along behind them.
