Yes - between about April and July at any rate.
Just a note though, you can't actually dive with them anymore. Snorkelling only. It's a bit frustrating as there's about half a dozen operators up there and they're all looking for whale sharks using a spotter plane. Can get a bit crowded and as they limit the number of people in the water with them at one time, your actual time snorkelling with them can be quite limited.
Definitely worth it if you're going to be in the area anyway.
