Scuba Diving With BIG BULL SHARK MAMAS 🦈 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

- Diving with bull sharks - just a few hundred meters off Playa del Carmen’s coast 🦈💦. Initially, this wasn’t our plan. Most diving operators around here feed the sharks during the dive, which means that you’re basically sitting on the ocean floor watching sharks being fed fish (by someone in a chain mail) 🐟⛓. Obviously, you get very close to the animals, but little is known about how regular feedings affect the shark’s behavior longterm 🤔.
But there are operators, like Elite Divers International, that offer dives without feeding. And that’s when you get to observe these impressive animals behaving naturally, curiously circling you. And off we went 🤗!

that's so beautiful that they can feel your heartbeat. wow 🥺😭🥲❤️ i want to dive with them too
Wow! Now that's how you make a perfect video, great work! Outstanding editing! We just got back from diving with the bull sharks, unfortunately the visibility was not as good as yours. Be sure to check it out, hit the tiger shark tab on the left to find video.
Großartiges Video! Die Aufnahmen sind top und wirklich traumhaft schön! Super professionelles editing. Bin wirklich begeistert. Macht weiter so! Subscribed!!! Liebe Grüße Marc
Hey Marc 💙! Danke, das freut uns wirklich sehr! Dankeschön! Liebe Grüße aus Wien! Doris & Matthias 😊
You guys do such an amazing job putting together beautiful short films for your channel! Loved this one!
Thanks, you two 😍! That's very sweet! Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🦈
Love the editing on your videos, so wish I had the time, patience and skills!
Thanks, you two, appreciate it a lot 😊! Your wildlife shots are really cool, you've captured so much amazing (and rare) animal interactions.
Amazing video guys! I've done some activism myself regarding sharks in Australia and they are so beautiful and not the monsters they are painted to be. The biggest threat to them is our fear. What an honour for you guys to dive with them. :)
Thanks for caring about the sharks and being an advocate in Australia. That's so important to speak up 💙🦈!
Beautiful video and beautiful mindset!
Shark are not vicious, we are just scared to understand them... great meaningful work! ✨👍
You're absolutely right! Sharks are important for the eco system and beautiful animals 🦈💙!
Ich würde mich niemals trauen neben einem Hai zu tauchen! :D Wahnsinns Aufnahmen, habt ihr echt gut gemacht. Das ist wahr, wir sind die größte Gefahr für die Haie, aber Tiere im allgemeinen. Macht mich echt traurig. Hoffentlich ändert sich das alles in Zukunft und es wird strenger kontrolliert. Grade die Überfischung. Tolles Video!
Ach, keine Sorge! Beim Tauchen kann man wirklich entspannt sein, die fürchten sich mehr vor unseren "Bubbles" als wir uns vor ihnen. Einmal ausgeatmet und schwupps, ist der Hai auch schon wieder fort. Tauchkurs machen und dich wird die Begeisterung genauso packen, da bin ich mir sicher :-D Danke für den Kommentar!
Brilliant and informative video ... love your editing ... we've had the pleasure to dive with 7 of them last year in playa del carmen :)
Glad to hear you also had a great experience in Playa del Carmen 🦈!
We're currently missing those sharks! Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
This deserves more attention
Thank you so much my friend! We appreciate you!
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
This is incredible. What a great job on your videos. What a fascinating story about how the Bull Sharks by using the feeling of electromagnetics can find their prey but feeling the heart beat. Were you guys nervous? Again great video, Doris and Matthias. Very creative. Could you watch our latest video, as we'd love to hear your thoughts as well.
Hey guys! That is so sweet of you! Very much appreciated! No, we weren't nervous - those guys are very curious and not at all dangerous for us divers. We'll check out your channel! Keep it up! Doris & Matthias
We divers have to educate people how needed sharks are for a healthy marine eco-system! It‘s on us to tell how grace- and beautiful they are 😍🦈
I have always wanted to swim with sharks (should learn scuba first lol). Just love underwater shots. And wow that was so cool the bull sharks. Great video to educate people.
Hey Evelyne, I'm sure you're doing a scuba course one day - until then we're happy to take you with us on our underwater missions 💙! Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🦈
Amazing and perfect. I enjoyed it. So beautiful. Greetings from Turkey.
Hey! Thank you so much, we appreciate it a lot! Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🦈
Could've sworn we left a comment after watching this! ...So well done, y'all. I mean, April and I are just in awe of your talent! 😃 I have always wanted to dive with the bulls; they are like one of the very coolest creatures on this planet. About how much time do you spend on editing each video? We can only aspire to get closer to being as good as y'all are someday! 😇
They are indeed incredible creatures, one of our favourites underwater 💙! The editing time is different for each video, quickest video so far was done in one day, but mostly a few full days. That's why we only post bi-weekly at the moment 😉🐙. Your videos are great! Cheers, Doris & Matthias
Gotcha. We are trying to work towards twice a week, but it's challenging with day jobs and life stuff. Oh, you are too kind to say our videos are great! :-D ...Thanks...
Makes sense. I am putting similar hours into each one of mine lately. Thanks for saying so; always trying to improve. I'd welcome a helpful hint or two from y'all (you can PM me)... 😇
I regret not watching more from you. This is simply amazing and beautiful 😍
Haha 😆! That's very much appreciated! Thanks for dropping by on this one 🦈! Keep it up, bros!
Love this!💙🙂
Thank you so much Melissa 💙! Doris & Matthias 🐻
Why just dive when you can dive with sharks? 😂 That is fantastic underwater footage. Very clear.
That is absolutely right - always go for the sharks 🦈😂! Thanks!
wow beautifully shot :)
Thanks, Josh 🦈! You are awesome!
Here are some beautiful pictures! Congratulations !!! A real professional job!
Is it a hobby and you have a job next to it or did you get into video production?
Thank you so much, Marco! We're actually graphic designers, but have a lot of dedication for videography and filmmaking. So we're using our skills to share where to see animals in the wild, sustainably and hope to make a difference on this planet 💙!
awesome
Thanks, Stefan 🙌!
Absolutely well edited piece. Can I ask for the list of gears You used for this video?:)
Thanks a lot, Patrik! We have put all our gear in the description of the video. Drop us a message on Instagram @bugsandbears if you have any specific questions about it 😊! Cheers, Doris & Matthias
@@bugsandbears Ohh sorry I missed that one:S Wondering why my mavic air footgae looks different:( You got a talent there!:) Thanks for your answer!
I agree we are the biggest threat to them, I don't think I would be brave enough to scuba with them though
Let's just fight the stereotypes, so people know what beautiful creatures they are 😍! Thanks for joining us!
Oh wow! This is amazing. They are just beautiful! I'm in love with whales, it's my dream to swim with them. I really enjoyed this video guys. Liked and subbed. It would be awesome if we could support each other 💖
Hey you three 😍! Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel. If you want to fulfil your dream, you should visit the Kingdom of Tonga and checkout a responsible operator. We've been swimming with the humpback whales there and done a short documentary about them here: czcams.com/video/KLoUmnH8L00/video.html Your channel is lovely! Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
We what that same dream. We were looking to potentially add Tahiti to our schedule of travel as we heard they have incredible whale dives there. Let us know if you have other places that provide cool places to swim with whales. :)
