Playa del Carmen
These dive operators cover Playa’s unusual spread: easy reef, cenote caverns and, in season, bull sharks. From November through March, female bull sharks gather over the sand around 25 meters down, one of Mexico’s few dependable big animal dives. Newer divers still have plenty here; Tortugas and Jardines stay gentle and shallow.
