Every year during the months of March, April, May & June, whale sharks migrate to an area off the beautiful shores of Placencia in Belize called the Gladden Cut. Some twenty five years ago a local fisherman from Sapodillo Caye was the first person to report sightings of these magnificent creatures. Local fishermen from Placencia outon their annual snapper spawning fishing trips also had sightings, but thought it was only one shark, they named it Sapodillo Tom in honor of the first person that reported sightings. With the introduction of scuba diving to the area in recent years, it has been discovered that the migration is indeed dozens of sharks. Today this migration is the most popular diving attraction in Placencia with divers visiting from all over the world.
