On the eastern edge of the Yucatán Peninsula, divers can find magical cenotes, pelagic encounters and beautiful reefs at Playa del Carmen in the Caribbean Sea. Dive sites here feature beautiful caverns and healthy reef systems off sandy shores. Playa del Carmen is home to a variety of marine life from huge sharks to tiny macro critters. The major attraction in terms of wildlife are the female bull sharks that grace the area with their presence from November to March. There are also eagle rays, Loggerhead Turtles and Green Turtles to be found nearby. Occasionally, sailfish and whale sharks might be spotted at sites further from shore. The healthy Playa del Carmen reefs also play host to a variety of tropical species.
