Bull Shark Encounter
Playa del Carmen
Description
If you are ready for a high octane adventure, we invite you to join for probably the best diving experience of your life!
Dive in the feeders program with bull sharks at 24 meters deep, this is a static dive where you will have to stay in your assigned spot.
You will be face to face with the bull sharks in Playa del Carmen, this is a MUST dive for adrenaline addicts and animal lovers.
Bull sharks are big, they are not shy, and they wander among divers. This is normal behavior for them, so if you are not prepared it can be a shocking experience.
Female bull sharks come to Playa del Carmen only in the winter season (November to March) and between 10 and 25 sharks can be observed in the same dive.
Before proceeding with the dive, you will have a complete explanation of the safety, timing, depth and emergency procedures.
There will be a divemaster who will use fish to attract the sharks, which sometimes causes them to be very close and active and another divemaster who will take care of the divers.
The position of sharks in the food chain is vital to the health of the ecosystem. The more we learn about these animals, the more we can enjoy and care for them.
Don't miss out this opportunity because you won't regret it!

Swimming with the whale sharks was worth every penny! No sunscreen so wear a swim shirt or rent a wetsuit. Our Captain Solomon was fabulous and our guide Nano was fun, energetic and did everything he could to make this a magical experience for everyone on board. We were the first pick up and last drop off which meant for a super long day but highly recommend!!

We took the whale shark watching tour; we had a fantastic day with tons of sharks. Truly a dream. I would recommend it a thousand times over.

This was an amazing excursion. The Captain knew right where to drop you in so you can swim along the whale shark. If you hesitate, you ok be behind. The captain’s mate did a wonderful job of orienting you once you jumped in the water and he took amazing photos and video. I definitely recommend Gluup for this trip.
