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.
Unique to this area is the
possibility of diving in the sacred
Cenotes of the Yucatan, underground fresh-water
caverns found only a few places on earth.
Cancun Cenotes
are an amazing journey through one of nature's masterpieces, and divers
from all over the world flock here to experience a once-in-a-lifetime
thrill.
