BULL SHARK DIVING IN MEXICO
Season December – March
*
Bull Sharks are the perfect animals in their marine environment. Not a single grain of sand will be dispersed when they gracefully glide along the sandy bottom.
*
Every year during the winter months, when the water temperature drops a little, between two and ten of these solitary hunters can usually be seen in the area of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It is mainly females who come for breeding reasons due to the clear tropical water conditions and a lower concentration of sea salt caused by the underground fresh water rivers of the Yucatan Cenotes.

DIVE SITE OF THE MONTH: CENOTE TAJMA HA – RIVIERA MAYA
*
Tajma Ha, situated 26 km/ 16 miles south of Playa del Carmen and 5km/ 3 miles south of Puerto Aventuras, was originally named ‘Taj Mahal’ by its explorers, as this cave system reminded them of the majestic and immeasurable beauty of the ‘Taj Mahal’ in India. It has since been “Mayanized” to ‘Tajma Ha’, as ‘Ha’ means water in Mayan.
*
Impressive light shows on sunny days, a rich decoration of stalactites, stalagmites and plenty of hidden fossils promise a mind-blowing experience for both cave and cavern divers. Haloclines in Tajma Ha´s deeper areas create mirror-like effects, as divers penetrate the layer of saltwater, lying below the freshwater due to their different densities.
*
You will come across terms like “Sugar Bowl” and “Chinese Garden” during your Cenotes briefing. These are not items of a Chinese menu, but experiences that will leave you
awe-inspired!
