Bull Shark Scuba Diving Experience - 2 tank dive in Playa del Carmen
4 h
About this activity
The bull sharks are a special species of shark that can actually swim in freshwater as well. The bulls of Playa are drawn here because of the freshwater cenotes that pump out into the sea along the coast. The exits for these cenotes are too small for a shark to pass though but the constant flow of freshwater leaving the cenote exits certainly draws them, as well as an abundant food supply of fish, into the area. Playa del Carmen is also known to have a rather large turtle population which is another food source for the bull sharks.
Your second dive will be on one of our spectacular reefs in Playa del Carmen. When it comes to reef diving, Playa del Carmen is your perfect base location. Many of the greatest open sea diving sites along the Great Mayan Reef Barrier are located right off the shores of Playa del Carmen in the heart of the Riviera Maya. Depart from Playa del Carmen to explore the most colorful and interesting diving sites in the world’s second largest coral reef. Water temperature and visibility, combined with the flourishing underwater life of coral reefs, make Playa del Carmen a superior diving destination all year round.
Once immersed in the ocean, marvel at a wide range of corals and marine life including blue tangs, angel fish, moray eels, and turtles. Watch as bubbles playfully float to the surface while tropical fish dance before your eyes. This is truly a magical experience that is sure to have you longing for more!
