 Cancun
and surrounding areas are home
to some of the world's most
acclaimed diving and snorkeling.
The waters surrounding Cancun
are legendary for their clarity
and diversity.
Famous dive spots like Palancar,
El Bajito, Manchones and Chitales
are all nearby. There is also
the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks
near Isla Mujeres where divers
can sometimes "pet" the sharks.
Nearby Cozumel offers world-class
diving. And nearby Isla Mujeres
is one of the most scenic place
in the area for diving & snorkeling.
A popular dive site is the Manchones
Reef, which is about 5 mi/8
km northeast of Cancun and
close
to Isla Mujeres. Divers and
snorkelers also may want to
explore the starting point of
the Belize Barrier Reef at Punta
Nizuc, near the Club Med at
the southern end of Paseo Kukulcan.

Cavern Diving
|
|
Divers
come to Mexico's Mayan Riviera
from all over the world for
cenote cavern diving.
Cenote cavern
dives are a unique experience.
The water is crystal clear and
fresh, and divers can see the
beautiful mineral formations
in the cenote cavern. Unlike
cave systems in most of the
world, the Yucatan's underground
rivers are close to the surface.
This means longer diving times
in the shallower depth. Cenote
cavern dives are not effected
by the ocean's temperament,
so the water is always calm
and clear.
Caution:
Don't go cavern diving without
a guide. The "cavern"
dive is an advanced dive in
an overhead environment and
should be done only under the
supervision of a qualified professional
guide.
