Bull Shark Diving in Playa del Carmen
Experience one of the most exhilarating shark encounters with our Bull Shark Diving excursion—departing from Cancun and heading to Playa del Carmen for an unforgettable adventure. This dive targets the famous congregation of large female bull sharks that frequent the Quintana Roo beaches.

Why Bull Shark Diving?

Bull sharks are drawn to this area by the constant influx of freshwater from nearby cenotes, which enriches the waters with nutrients and attracts abundant marine life. Additionally, Playa del Carmen is renowned for its thriving sea turtle population—a natural food source for these powerful predators.

Seasonal Highlights

The peak bull shark season runs from mid-November to February, with the best sightings typically starting in December. Dive in winter when these magnificent creatures are most active and visible.

Dive Details

• Depth: 20–25 meters (66–82 feet)
• Proximity: Just a 5-minute boat ride from shore
• Experience: Enjoy a thrilling encounter in a dynamic underwater environment perfect for avid and experienced divers alike.

Please Note

While we strive to provide an incredible diving experience, sightings of bull sharks cannot be guaranteed due to natural variability. In the rare event that bull sharks are not encountered during your tour, please note that no refunds will be issued.
