Wetpixel Publisher Eric Cheng is currently at Isla Mujeres, Mexico with the Wetpixel whale shark trip and he has posted a trip update from the field onto his journal. The first three days of the trip have produced some amazing whale shark action, with hundreds of the creatures being seen by the group. He says:

“They were so dense that they were forced to feed in layers, and we saw as many sharks ascending and descending as we did on the surface of the ocean (very rare). Our guides were totally excited, saying that the ocean was infestado with whale sharks.”

Eric has been shooting stills with a Canon 7D, and video with a GoPro HERO 3D.
