We dove just south of the ferry docks. Descent to 90' to a sand bottom shelf. The sharks come from the deep drop off. I would not dive with any dive op that would feed or chum for sharks. The sharks are territorial and curious enough to check you out. We stayed in a group and the sharks circled around us!

I did the same thing last April and plan on doing it again this March when in Coz. I discourage anyone from going with an op that chums. It's not needed.
I dove with Mayan Aqua Dive, but the DM's have since started a new company, Scorpio Divers, and that's who I will use in March. I know that Geofish in Playa also does non chumming shark dives and they have a good reputation as well. Last year, MAD offered two shark dives for the same price that other shops charged for one. Ask for Ben or Jorge with Scorpio Divers, both great guys. Scorpio Divers // Scuba Diving // Diving the way it should be.

NICE! It would be great if some "real" sharks made there way accross the channel to Coz more often...

Thanks to all who DO NOT SUPPORT the chumming of the sharks in Playa. So close to the beach - an accident waiting to happen.
Completely agree, especially with such an aggressive species of shark. The shark will be vilified when the inevitable happens. That being said I would love to dive with an op in Playa that sees them too without chumming.
