Each boreal winter, pregnant female bull sharks gather at Shark Point just minutes offshore from Playa del Carmen, settling on a sandy shelf near 24 metres in one of the Caribbean's most predictable big-shark dives. Local operators run regulated deep dives with strict depth and time limits to protect the aggregation. December through February delivers the densest concentrations before sharks move on in spring.
