Bull Shark Point (Playa del Carmen)

A sandy-bottom site just off Playa del Carmen where pregnant female bull sharks gather in winter. Divers wait motionless at an assigned spot at about 24 m while the sharks circle; some operators also run a shallower drift version (about 18 m). Season is roughly mid-November to March, depending on water temperature.
