Whale Shark Season During the months of April through June, southern Belize offers divers and snorkelers the unique opportunity for spotting the large pelagic feeder known as the Whale Shark. When in a playful mood, these gentle and curious creatures will hang around for long periods of time. If you are planning a dive trip with whale sharks in mind, the best time to do so during these months would be three days before the full moon to three days after the last quarter moon. It's during this period that Cubera Snappers spawn, attracting the Whale Sharks. April through June is also spawning season for many other species of fish and mating season for turtles.
Although it's possible to spot Whale Sharks anytime April through June, the optimum dates for Whale Shark sightings in 2005 are: March 23 to April 3; April 21 to May 1; May 20 to June 2; June 19 to July 1.
