Gladden Spit works on a lunar timetable. For a window around the full moons of spring, thousands of cubera and dog snappers rise off the promontory at dusk to spawn, and the milky clouds they release call in the biggest fish in the sea. Whale sharks spiral up through the spawn with mouths wide, sometimes surfacing beside the boats. Divers hang as a disciplined mid-water group (no chasing, no flash barrage) while the guides read the water. Some trips hit the jackpot; plenty see spawning snappers and no shark, and sightings have grown patchier over the years. Go for the event, and count the shark as grace.
您此行的高光时刻: Whale sharks feeding on snapper spawn, massed spawning aggregations, wild blue-water atmosphere.
地形地貌: A promontory of the barrier reef dropping into deep water; dives hang over the blue where snappers mass to spawn.
水流: Open water off the reef elbow; expect drift and swell.
入水方式: Runs from Placencia in spring; groups drift mid-water in formation under guide control.
入水前须知
危险因素: Blue-water disorientation with no visual bottom, dusk timing, and boat traffic at the surface.
许可证与规定: Reserve fee and licensed guides required; boat numbers at the aggregation are capped.
保育: The spawning aggregation is the reserve's reason for being; strict encounter rules (distance, numbers, no touching) are enforced by ranger patrols.
