Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) May 28, 2011 - Wildlife researchers and tourists are heading to Isla Mujeres " an island just minutes from a busy city of Cancun".

Isla Mujeres is a small quiet town , whose primary vehicles are scooters and golf carts.

Now there is a research center where scientists study whale sharks.

There is an estimated 1,400 whale sharks in the waters of the Yucatan, Australia and the world.

Kenneth Miller of South Florida-based Island Travel Specialists is proud to announce that a group from South Florida and Scotland, UK, we be in Isla Mujeres.

They are swimming with whale sharks, the biggest fish in the sea and learning about the mysterious fish.
The biggest fish in the sea, a whale shark can weigh many tons and grow to more than 45 feet in length.

Study's are being done to find out more about the movement of these animals.

Thanks to the stately swimming pace, tolerance of swimmers and appetite for only small prey, the whale shark is a growing attraction worldwide.

Whale sharks barely move when a diver deploys a spear like pole to insert a tag into the skin near the dorsal fin.

Rules apply to keep the balance and not to disturb the whale sharks. Only a few divers at once can swim near the shark and do not touch the whale shark.

Located at 4910 NW 14 Ter. Deerfield Beach, Florida is a full service travel agency specializing in Worldwide travel.
