Hola Marta en Playa del Carmen frente al Ferry.
En que sitio de buceo los viste? que chulo!
It's always bad to feed wildlifeas a attraction and I don't understand why they do it. If this is a natural breeding area the sharks will stay in this place so it would be much more fun to see there natural behavior.
Thanks FoTony
Today is a guide dive near the coast for decades female bull sharks come near the coast to have there baby's, only two months December and January for the 6 years dive operators found the spot many star making guide dives to the area sometimes you see them sometimes not, even some guides star feeding them.
I´m against shark feeding change the natural balance.
Nice capture! Was this with a guide who knows these spot to be famous for sharks or was it a lucky encounter?
