CANCUN SCUBA DIVING - COZUMEL, CENOTES, REEFS

Cancun and Cozumel scuba diving is some of the most fantastic in the world.  With visibility ranging some days upward of 200 feet, this Caribbean wonderland deserves its reputation as a major scuba diving destination.  The best Cancun diving is found off the shores of Cozumel, where crystal-clear, warm water houses thousands of incredibly beautiful tropical fish and other marine life.
