I’ve wanted to do this bull shark dive in Playa del Carmen for a while now. I wasn’t eligible in the past because not only do they want you to be certified, but they prefer you have at least 30 logged dives so the dive company would be more confident that you would not panic and screw up the dive for everyone. It’s also an 80’ deep dive which is on the deep end for a typical recreational diver. If you’re certified in diving, I highly recommend the bull shark dive. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and I would probably do it again in the future. It was a great trip down to Mexico and I’m already looking forward to going back.

For this Reef A Palooza, we had the pleasure of introducing Reef A Palooza / Afishionado Awards. I teamed up with one and only Professor Sanjay Joshi to find out who brought the best of best. For this video, Sanjay and I went to find who had the best corals and who were the rookie that deserved our recognition. Check it out! by xeniaforever | May 12, 2017 | Industry, Sustainability
Though illegal, the use of cyanide to catch fish continues. A fisherman drops a small tablet of the poisonous chemical into a squirt bottle filled with water, dives down to the reef, and sprays the toxin liberally over the rockwork.… by Leonard Ho | May 12, 2017 | Advanced Aquarist
One of the sea's great mouths versus one of the sea's great defensive mechanisms. Can a puffed-up pufferfish thwart an eel's attempt eat it? One of them is fighting dirty.
