Bull Shark Diving in Playa del Carmen: Everything You Need to Know
When and Where to See Bull Sharks
Every year, from November to February, bull sharks migrate to the warm waters off Playa del Carmen. This seasonal event gives divers the rare opportunity to observe these powerful animals up close. Dives usually take place at specific sites along the sandy bottom, where the sharks gather in calm, clear water.
Safety First: Diving with Experts
At Pluto Dive, safety is our top priority. Our experienced instructors guide every dive with strict protocols to ensure a safe and respectful experience for both divers and sharks. We brief you before the dive, cover best practices, and make sure all equipment is properly set up.

What to Expect Underwater
During the dive, you’ll descend to a sandy area between 20–25 meters (65–82 ft), where the sharks naturally swim. The encounter is breathtaking — watching these majestic animals glide silently past you in their natural environment is an unforgettable moment. Visibility is usually excellent, and conditions are suitable for advanced divers with proper buoyancy control.
