About this spot
From November through March, pregnant female bull sharks (3-3.5m) gather on the sand plateau 1.5km off Playa del Carmen at 25m depth, likely for gestational reasons not fully understood. Several local operators run baited and non-baited dives. Sharks circle calmly, occasionally approaching for inspection. Visibility 15-25m, mild currents. Suit up early — boats leave 7am.
