Swimming with whale sharks has been on my wife's bucket list for over 15 years and these guys made it happen! This is definitely the operation I would choose. We went two days in a row to increase the chances of seeing whale sharks. There are a few things you should know going in. The company can't control the weather (boatrides were 1 to 1 1/2 hours each direction in bumpy seas both days), they can't control the other boats (day 1 we found ourselves with 4 other boats which was nbd--day 2 we left early due to over 50 boats chasing about 10 whale sharks--not cool for the sharks at all), and they can't control whether or not you will actually find whale sharks. If you can't deal with these realities, you may want to pass on this. That being said, we have 200 dives under our belts from all over the world and this trip is in our top 10. We stayed on Isla Mujeres and did the first day with a group of 5. Second day was a VIP tour with just the two of us. Highly recommend Alex's operation. Sergio was our guide and we requested him by name for day 2.Noah and Sergio were wonderful! They made our whale shark tour fantastic. I was nervous and they helped me to relax. We enjoyed it so much we ended up booking a second snorkel tour with them.
