DIVING WITH BULL SHARKS in Cabo Pulmo, Mexico 🦈

[@suehuff9035]

I visited Cabo Pulmo this week and we saw 11 bull sharks at the wreck site. It was so incredible. I was transfixed by them. Their power, their effortlessness, their grace. As a newbie diver, (this was only my 11th dive), this incredible experience has made me so eager to dive with more sharks, dolphins, whale sharks, seals, etc. And also help do cleanups locally in Canada (where dive in dry suits).

wow guys beautiful indeed, thanks for all the facts about the bullshark, yes they do seem very relaxed with you guys around too :D as usual doco style loving it guys!

[@bugsandbears]

They were real chillers - very impressive, though 🦈! Thanks for watching! Doris & Matthias

[@nickandhelmi]

Bugs & Bears no need to thank your friends matt haha 🙏😀, i love your style its different and refreshing i see so many cinematic vlogger who just copy other youtuber style

[@gilbertobotelho]

Awesome video!!! Congrats folks!!!

[@bugsandbears]

Thank you so much, Gilberto! 🦈

[@jschultzf3]

What a cool theme for a video, or even a channel! That little montage of the animals in the beginning is awesome :)

[@bugsandbears]

Glad you enjoyed our bull shark video! Stay tuned for more wildlife adventures 🦈🐻! Doris & Matthias

First time I was in the water with sharks was in Los Roques Venezuela. Sadly the guides there tend to scare them off by chasing them. I went to see them three times, last time I saw them I convinced the local operator (Who isn't from Los Roques) to ditch the local freediver guide. I decided to apply everything I had read about sharks and we just sat still there waiting. That day we shared an hour up close with 7-9 Lemmon and Black Tips sharks who felt safe enough to check us out. Goes to show how more scared they are of us than us of them and how curious they can be.

[@AdventureEverywhere]

Great video guys. That's incredible how close you got to the sharks. We totally agree with you on the misrepresentation of sharks. Nice job presenting the numbers, should help change perspective.

[@bugsandbears]

Thanks for dropping by! Glad you enjoy watching the bull sharks! Keep it up, guys!

[@EllaMcKendrick]

I'm digging your new intro! Travelling on the back of a truck looks great fun. Much better than a bus in my opinion ;) it's wonderful that the locals are working together to help preserve the area. The bull sharks are so beautiful! I'd love to be able to experience this myself. I didn't realise they were the most dangerous sharks in the world. I can't get over how many sharks are killed each year :(

[@bugsandbears]

Thanks for dropping by! Cabo Pulmo is for sure a one of a kind place. Not too long ago this was a fishing village, but now the whole community is working together in tourism and protects the area as National Park. Cheerio!

[@heykarinahere]

Wow guys! Loved watching it and learnt something new again thanks to you! This is something Carl wants to do as he is doing is Scuba Diving training at the moment :) I will show him the video tomorrow! :) Love it! :)

[@bugsandbears]

Hey Karina! Thanks for your comment! So glad Carl is starting to scuba dive, I'm sure he'll love it! Let us definitely know if you need suggestions for dive spots! All the best, you two! Doris & Matthias 🦈

[@buceoApulmon]

Great footage ! The shark at 3mn24 is not a bullshark: it looks like a Lemon shark (or maybe a sand Tiger ?). All these species are documented in Cabo Pulmo)

[@bugsandbears]

Yeah, you're right. Good spot! We've been discussing about this guy a few times and think it's a lemon shark 🦈! Yes, all of the shots in this video are from Cabo Pulmo. We really enjoyed the National Park there 💙!

[@AdventuresThings]

This is such a good video. It would be nice to see the end of shark fishing. Great job guys.

[@bugsandbears]

That would indeed be an awesome thing to see. By the way, the 100 million per year are the officially reported numbers, so experts say the true numbers could be as high as 270 mio. dead sharks per year. Thanks, for watching!

[@AdventuresThings]

@@bugsandbears that is absolutely disgusting and is most of it for shark fin soup?

[@bugsandbears]

@@AdventuresThings Yes, apparently finning contributes directly to the killing of almost half of these sharks. Crazy! Also, many sharks end up as bycatch (like turtles etc.) or are killed by consuming plastic waste.

[@ChasingTheOddShapedBall]

There’s plenty of Bull Sharks in the waterways near me, as they’re a great place for the shark pups to grow up. Personally I wouldn’t swim there because Bull Sharks do have a nature of being highly unpredictable. The underwater shots you captured were fantastic

[@bugsandbears]

That sounds beautiful and yes, we wouldn't recommended going swimming there. As divers we have an advantage being on the same level, making slow movements and not surprising them. But, there are also Freedivers, swimming in bull shark regions and diving down to give the bull sharks a visit. It's something that can be done with knowledge about how and where to do it.

[@XavierLeong]

Incredible as always! You guys deserve so much more recognition!

[@bugsandbears]

Thank you so much Xavier! That's highly appreciated! All the best! Doris & Matthias 🐻

[@JoshRimer]

Wow, I have never been swimming with sharks! And can't say I'd ever really considered it until now. lol

[@bugsandbears]

Hey Josh, sharks are beautiful, elegant predators and awesome to dive with.

[@marcoslerca5290]

Incredible!! I watched your video and I am going to Cabo next week :) Which dive centre did you use?

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

Amazing video! I was lucky enough to dive many years ago in Jupiter, FL during the lemon shark mating season. I was surrounded by over 200 of them! Such graceful creatures

[@bugsandbears]

Wow! 200 Lemon sharks sounds like quite an unforgettable experience! We had one lemon shark that sneaked into this dive at 03:25, the others were around 20 bull sharks! Are you still scuba diving once in a while?

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

Unfortunately, I had a scuba diving accident where I ruptured both of my inner ears, so I only have about 30% hearing in each now...so it's been 14 years now

[@bugsandbears]

Go Travel On The Cheap Really sorry to hear about that!

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

@@bugsandbears Lucky I had been diving most of my life . I had over 400 dives from all over the world when I had my dive accident. The dive doctor told me that only 5% of the people live Through what had what happened to me . I still can snorkel as long as I don't go deeper than one atmosphere 😊

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

Thank you. I really miss scuba diving, but I am enjoying other adventures

[@OneShotAdventures]

Incredible work once again guys, I always love watching your videos. Honestly this is next level cinematography, editing and sound design! Amazing to see the sharks so close up and great information too. Very sad how many of them are killed... Humans are the worst!

[@bugsandbears]

Omg! Really appreciate that feedback! This made our day! Thank you so much!

[@LERAKO]

what a superb animal to dive with!

[@bugsandbears]

They're so impressive, haven't had a similar experience with so many sharks up close so far!

[@ETBrothers]

This content is so amazing 😍 Well done 👏 Subbed and looking forward for more ❤

[@bugsandbears]

Thanks, brothers 🙌! Glad you're joining the ride! More wildlife adventures to come 🐠!

[@ETBrothers]

@@bugsandbears awesome 😍

[@ScottBell]

Nice vid. I'm not sure I would be so comfy down there with the sharks but lovely footage. Did you do the underwater stuff with a gopro or something in a housing?

[@bugsandbears]

Hey Scott, thanks man! Haha, nothing to worry about. Those sharks don't usually see a scuba diver as prey, it's the opposite, as soon as we breathe, they're scared of our bubbles and swim away. All of the underwater footage is filmed on our GoPro. 🦈

[@herdd]

This looks so incredible! :) I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT!

[@bugsandbears]

Have you tried scuba diving before?

[@herdd]

never! and I would LOVE to do it!!! :) @@bugsandbears

[@jparker818]

U guys are fucking crazy !

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

No I haven't. I actually haven't done any diving, just snorkeling, maybe I will try it at some point. Love the underwater footage you got. It is sad to hear those statistics.

[@bugsandbears]

Yeah, it's kinda sad how sharks are treated around the world. They're very important for our eco system and deserve a way better reputation! Thanks for watching! Doris & Matthias 🦈

[@WhiteGhost21]

dinosaurs didnt exit

[@chrismarshall6647]

Do you really want to be potentially fish food . Read up on Bull sharks . They are an amazing animal just not a swimming partner.
