Cave of the Sleeping Sharks
(Sights & Activities - Scuba Diving and Snorkeling)

Cancún

Description:
Sharks have to constantly stay in motion to breath through their skins, according to scientists. But there's at least one place where these amazing creatures cool their wheels-the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks. The sharks use bubbles from underwater springs to breath, letting them relax for a while. There are not as many sharks nowadays because of heavy diver activity, but you can still catch one or two snoozing every once in while.
