Quick PDC question...

[jmani]

So to go in conjunction with the anti-shark feeding thread.

To give you a little bit of background. My son who will have just turned 14 for our PDC trip is not the most adventurous 14 year old boy in the states. I have been working real hard with him to overcome some of his fears. We were watching the travel channel this weekend, and there was a bit about Cancun. They showed a group of divers and there was a few sharks lazily swimming around these divers. When my son saw that he quickly exclaimed "I want to do that". Now I thought I heard "I don't want to do that". I responded don't worry son, we don't have to do that, then he corrected me.

Question is, will it be possible for us to do a relatively "safe" dive where we will see some sharks in July? (we will be there from July 13-18) I definitely am anti-shark feeding, especially if there is chum involved. I think that is an excellent way to get bit.

Unfortunately the sharks will most likely be gone by July. The water is super warm by that time and they have moved on to colder water. I think no matter what, if shops continue to feed them, they will be gone by May. The winter months from November to February are the prime months to see them. But hey you never know, you could run into a few in July. If we can see Whale Sharks in February I think there is a small possibility to see the Bulls. Good luck and I am glad you feel that way about feeding. Happy diving and take care.

We have a special kids trip to see the great whites at Guadalupe this year.

We did the first special trip like this in 2007 and again last year.

The youngest have been 6 and 7 year olds

You can definately see sharks in July!!! Just not bull sharks. It will be peak WHALE SHARK season though and those are guaranteed. Snorkeling only so the whole family can do it. I do tend to be parcial to diving myself but I did the day trip last year and LOVED it. We saw whale sharks everywhere, manta rays flipping out of the water and dolphins on the way out. The season is from June to September and most dive centers including me can offer you day trips to see them. PM me for more info.
