🤿 The diving

Cabo Pulmo protects one of North America's oldest hard-coral reefs (roughly 20,000 years) inside a no-take marine park, nicknamed the 'Aquarium of the World' for its 800+ species and massive schools of jacks and groupers. From December to May cooler water draws aggregations of bull sharks for completely natural, un-baited encounters, alongside five sea turtle species and occasional hammerheads and mantas.

Also known for: Natural, un-baited bull shark aggregations on a fully protected coral reef
