SHARK DIVING PLAYA DEL CARMEN

If you’re passionate about marine life, few experiences compare to diving alongside bull sharks. Every year, Playa del Carmen becomes a top destination for shark diving, attracting adventurers from all over the world.

Playa del Carmen offers warm, crystal-clear waters and is one of the few places in the world where you can dive with bull sharks without a cage. This unique opportunity allows divers to observe these incredible creatures up close while being guided by certified professionals in a safe environment.

Each winter, pregnant females migrate to this area to give birth, making these dives not only thrilling, but also a rare chance to witness the natural behavior of bull sharks during their reproductive season.

The bull shark season typically runs from November to March, when female bull sharks migrate to shallow waters (around 30 meters) to give birth near the mangroves of the Riviera Maya. The water is cooler during this period, creating ideal conditions for close encounters.
