Feeding Bull Sharks from Playa del Carmen

1 day
About this activity
Feeding the bull shark in Mexico has been one of the divers’ favorite tour for many years in Yucatan Peninsula, in the city of Playa Del Carmen. The feeling after participating in a shark feeding is hard to describe. But what’s for sure is the fact that no one is left unemotional. We highly recommend you to join us so we could share these unforgettable experiences together!

The bull shark diving - is one of the most spectacular show for divers to participate in. First, this is not just swimming and watching. Secondly, the sharks are in their natural habitat. Now, how is it that divers avoid any risks while feeding the sharks? Here’s the secret. Divers descend about 65 feet deep in a large group. At the bottom, they line up along the cable so there’s no gap between the shoulders. When this happens, the shark begins to perceive the group as a whole large object. Feeding sharks is performed by an experienced instructor, dressed in protective suit. Sharks are quite picky when it comes to eating, they start eating slowly, first just floating around and then they start taking the food. During this time, all divers have an opportunity to observe the sharks and their habits. Sometimes, the "bulls" let their aggression out and start fighting over the lure. Imagine feeling frozen, excited and horrified at the same time even though sharks are not interested in divers so any incidents are ruled out. This dive is certainly suitable for lovers of sharks and adventurers, and if you come at this season, it cannot be missed!
