Thanks everyone!

The wreck is called Mama Vina.

I'm not sure what the bull shark dive site was called. It was literally a 2 minute boat ride directly off shore of Playa del Carmen. Here is a video of it, not sure how to embed a video:

Your photos are absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Can you please provide the details of the dive sites and dive shops you used?
We are doing a dive trip to Akumal and Cozumel in August and that shark dive looks exhilarating. They were bull sharks??

Very beautiful! Thank you for posting. The fish you asked about is a Redband Parrotfish (Sparisoma aurofrenatum).

Cage diving with Bulls or just free swimming?

Bull sharks are the number one shark for attacks on humans. Aggressive sharks!

How was it?!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
