Bull Shark Diving

Feel the thrill of a lifetime!

In November the mostly pregnant female Bull-sharks visit us to spend the winter and they stay until March, then migrate to the mangroves to give birth in fresh water. Come observe them in their natural habitat and marvel at these imposing, mysterious, enigmatic, and oh-so-curious creatures.  

Bull sharks are a special species that can also be found in freshwater. Bull sharks in Playa del Carmen are attracted to the fresh water of the cenotes, natural communication with the sea along the coast. The exits of these cenotes are too small to allow a shark to pass, but the constant flow of fresh water that escapes certainly attracts them, as well as an abundance of food for the fish in the area. Playa del Carmen is also known to have a fairly large turtle population which is another food source for bull sharks.

That is why every year from November to March they come to visit us in peace. 

Learn more about them, how to interact respectfully, how to protect them, you will come out of this encounter grown up having met their eyes. 

Come and immerse yourself with them and experience a great adventure, such an exciting dive by going to meet them …
