Bull Shark in Costa Rica
Carcharhinus leucas
The most reliable place to see the bull shark in Costa Rica is the Bat Islands (Islas Murciélago) off the Guanacaste coast, best May–Nov. An advanced dive at an exposed offshore site with strong currents — bull sharks aggregate here, so the work is dive conditions and an operator who knows the site, not luck.
