Before starting with the bull sharks dive activity you should know:

The Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) has a robust appearance and can reach 3.5 meters long and weigh more than 300 kg. It is one of the perfect predators that have survived on our planet for more than 400 million years. Between November and March, due to the drop in water temperature, the bull sharks (mostly pregnant females) approach the shallowest areas of the reefs of Playa del Carmen to give birth to their young and leave them in an area protected from other predators.

Enjoy with us the experience of diving surrounded by bull sharks, it will be an unforgettable experience.

The bull shark is an animal that typically lives near heavily populated areas, such as tropical coasts. It is a very abundant species. It is not bothered by brackish or fresh water, and even ventures inland through rivers and tributaries.

They can be found roaming the shallow, warm waters of all the planet’s oceans. These fast and agile predators feed on anything within their reach, such as fish, dolphins, and even other sharks. Humans are not part of their regular diet. However, they frequent the murky waters of estuaries and bays, and often attack people by accident or out of simple curiosity.

Currently, the bull shark is not a threatened or endangered species. However, in many places they are fished for their meat, skin, and oil, so their population is likely declining. A study has revealed that their average length has decreased significantly in recent decades.

The bull sharks dive is the best option y if you are a diver and if you are in Playa del Carmen between November and March.
