#whalesharkaggregation

Image by @jim_abernethy // Snorkeling with Whale Sharks and Mantas in Blue Water is an incredible adventure to witness! Such a treat to see two of the largest aquatic animals together! Every year the largest aggregation of whale sharks worldwide gather off the coast of Isla Mujeres, Mexico. @shawnheinrichs and I discovered this aggregation roughly 14 years ago and have been running trips there ever since! Sometimes large numbers of mantas join in, as well as you can see from this image! We specialize in maximizing your time in the water by limiting our boats to only 6 guests per boat! This snorkeling event is definitely life changing! Sign up now to be with Shawn and I next year for this amazing experience! DM me your contact info and I'll email you more information on our trips! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #whalesharkaggregation #bethechangetheworldneeds #lovenature #stopneedlesskilling #finfree #finbannow #savemantas #savesharks #lovemantas #epicencounters #protectwhatyoulove #whaleshark #manta (at Isla Mujeres - México) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Wh0dnp973/?igshid=7ohpue7yqe2u

Call to Action! Those of you following me closely probably realize i'm working extremely hard on Florida's Red Tide issues that are killing birds, reptiles, mammals and tons of fish! With a small team we have discovered a way to slow down the nutrients that are fueling this terrible environmental disaster so please share and sign the petition in my bio! I've seen at least 6 species of sharks dead from this so far! Great White Shark up close! So sad how this magnificent creature is only at a fraction of the numbers we once had! If you haven't had the opportunity to see these magnificent beautiful sharks, definitely put it on your Must Do list! @jim_abernethy #epicencounters #greatwhiteshark #ilovesharks #beautiful #whiteshark #whalesharkaggregation #epicimages #beautiful #gorgeous #saveprotectedanimals #savesharks #finbannow #livesharks #finfree #underwater #marineprotectedzones #sharks #saveoceans #lifechanging #epicimages #sharktrip #underwaterphotography #inspirational #gorgeous (at Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures & Marine Life Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGjGzqhiw4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=160li4u127jhd

Great White Shark up close! So sad how this magnificent creature is only at a fraction of the numbers we once had! If you haven't had the opportunity to see these magnificent beautiful sharks, definitely put it on your Must Do list! Let's all work harder to save sharks while we still can. I urge everyone to sign the petition from Oceana banning the shark fin trade in the US, as well as the Florida petition banning the shark fin trade in Florida! USA is the 7th worst nation for shark fin soup and Florida is the worst state in the United States! Save the Sharks! @jim_abernethy #epicencounters #greatwhiteshark #ilovesharks #beautiful #whiteshark #whalesharkaggregation #epicimages #beautiful #gorgeous #saveprotectedanimals #savesharks #finbannow #livesharks #finfree #underwater #marineprotectedzones #sharks #saveoceans #lifechanging #epicimages #sharktrip #underwaterphotography #inspirational #gorgeous #jimabernethysscubaadventures

One of my best friends, conservationist Mary O'Malley at the front end of the world's largest fish...the whale shark! I believe this image was taken in 2009, the year five of us found the world's largest aggregation of whale sharks off the coast of Isla Mujeres, Mexico. The aggregation numbers exceed 500 sharks, sometimes with even more mantas! Since then Shawn Heinrichs and I have been running very successful whale shark trips for small groups. This year's trips still have some spaces available. See my bio for website info if you want to join us! @jim_abernethy #epicencounters #whaleshark #ilovesharks #whalesharkaggregation #epicimages #beautiful #gorgeous #saveprotectedanimals #savesharks #finbannow #livesharks #finfree #underwater #marineprotectedzones #sharks #saveoceans #freediving #lifechanging #underwaterphotography #inspirational #jimabernethysscubaadventures

Video by @Jim_abernethy // Here is a beautiful video of a whale shark silhouette! This shot is much more difficult than it appears as it is best when you can line up the sun behind the whale shark. You have to freedive deep enough to get the entire shark in the frame. What do you think of it? Do you like it? If swimming with whale shark aggregation interest you please consider joining me this July at the world's largest whale shark aggregation that sometimes it's mixed with hundreds of manta ray. This is snorkeling only so anyone can attend it's quite simple. Please email my office at [email protected] or visit my website at www.scuba-adventures.com for more information!

Images by @Jim_abernethy // Here's a few images from our World's Largest Whale Shark Aggregation Trip that I run every July! We still have space available if your interested please email my office at [email protected] On our calmer days there we do our best to get images like this Whale Shark Split with our guests on the boat and snorkelers in the water! With hundreds of whale sharks in the water sometimes mixed with lots of Mantas as well! These experiences are for everyone as scuba certification isn't required as we are all snorkeling. I hope this interests you and I'll see you with me in Isla Mujeres Mexico this July!

Images by @Jim_abernethy // To be able to float peacefully amongst the world's largest fish in addition to the Angels of the sea, Mantas at the same time is without question a life-changing experience! Once again they are both here this year! As I try my best to attempt to express what these encounters are really like, I know my words will never be able to come close to the real experience! Let me just say that once you've been in the company of these peaceful giant your life is changed forever! These magnificent creatures touch your soul and lift your spirits in such a profound way, all I can say is that you definitely are not the same person you were when you arrived! We still have a few spaces left if your interested in joining me here in Isla Mujeres Mexico this month, please contact my office at [email protected] and I'll see you soon!

Image by @jim_abernethy // Here is a beautiful picture of a few whale sharks where they are feeding on a translucent fish egg at the surface, off the coast of Mexico! We were very fortunate many years ago to be able to find and promote to the world the very largest whale shark aggregation to date. If you are interested in joining me next July please direct message me your email address and we'll send you information on this shark trip as well as others! Without question it is definitely a life changing situation that you will treasure for the rest of your life! Many many people come back every year just to see this spectacular event again!
