The trip included a swim with whale sharks and a guided tour of a coral reef. We saw whale sharks, sea turtle, manta rays and thousands of brightly colored tropical fish.<br/><br/>There are a lot of tour operators out there, but make absolutely sure that whichever company you choose, that they have a valid license. They should always display the number on their website! We also made sure to go with a company that had modern dual engine boast, as well as insurance boats in case of emergency. <br/><br/>The operator we chose was:<br/><a target="new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.swimwithwhalesharks.com">http://www.swimwithwhalesharks.com</a> <br/><br/>We were picked us up in Playa Del Carmen for only $10 extra per person, provided food and beverages and had us back at our resort by 2:45 pm. After doing a lot of research, I realized that there are many companies that pick people up in Cancun, but the tour would actually take place at Isla Holbox which is several hours away. The tours may be a little cheaper but it definitely made more sense to take this tour as a 1/2 day, allowing us to be able to spend the rest of the day at our beautiful resort, instead of on the road.<br/><br/>Happy Travels,<br/>George Marquez]]></description></item><item><title>Mark comments on Saving bluefin - in one year?</title><author>Mark</author><pubDate>Tue, 22 Feb 2011 22:07:11 +0000</pubDate><link>http://alistairdove.com/blog/2011/2/20/saving-bluefin-in-one-year.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">639985:7513079:comment/11998740</guid><description><![CDATA[So, the video rocks, but it&#39;s pretty wonky on its facts.  97% stock decline might describe southern bluefin, but not Atlantic bluefin, which the video is about.  And 2012 is not a doomsday year.  I&#39;ve studied the issue for a while and have never heard it.  I hope these guys can get their video talents connected with the right fact checker.]]></description></item><item><title>Al Dove comments on The wedding of the waters</title><author>Al Dove</author><pubDate>Mon, 14 Feb 2011 23:30:38 +0000</pubDate><link>http://alistairdove.com/blog/2011/2/14/the-wedding-of-the-waters.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">639985:7513079:comment/11899270</guid><description><![CDATA[Duly corrected - thanks for setting me straight PJ!]]></description></item></channel></rss>
