Percent archived depth recordings in the meso- and bathypelagic zones at hourly intervals from all whale sharks leaving Bahía de La Paz (tagging area) at large scale. Note that delta-limited dives were also included. The total number of depth recordings was 154: mesopelagic (M; green = 43), bathypelagic (B; red = 4) and delta limited (DL; dark grey = 107). Grey shaded areas denote night.
