This is an isolated and an exciting place to dive. Discovered by Carlos Garcia Castilla, a local fisherman, and made famous by Jacques Cousteau, Dr. Eugene Clark and Ramon Bravo. The cave’s fresh water bubbles attract a variety of sharks, making them groggy and allowing adventuresome divers to get a close-up view. Bull, black tip, gray reef sharks, and nurse sharks are commonly sited. The shark cave is at a depth of 60-70 feet.

30 minutes by boat from Isla Mujeres Named after the sharks who come here and remain still.

The sharks are believed to be recieving oxygen from bubbles rising up from underground springs, and therefore do not need to move constantly.
