DISCOUNTS ON DIVING IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN

As the masses head directly for Cozumel for some of the world's most famous wall dives and drift diving, they often overlook the beautiful coral reefs, shipwrecks, and cenotes of Playa del Carmen.  If you're staying in Playa del Carmen, you don't have to ferry across the water and back every day, you can enjoy fantastic scuba diving opportunities just offshore, and be back by lunch!

Playa del Carmen is one of the world's best places for sightings of sea turtles, as they breed and feed in the sheltered coves along the Riviera Maya.  In addition, you will often see moray eels, stingrays, nurse sharks, reef sharks, octopus, lobsters, and huge pelagic fish like marlin, sailfish, or giant grouper. 

The proximity and depth of the barrier reef makes it an ideal spot for diving, and all around the Playa del Carmen area you'll find cenotes, fabulous caverns with amazing limestone formations, unlimited visibility, and a unique ecosystem.  You can get certified to scuba dive, or do a resort course, then relax on the beach in the afternoon and shop or cruise the town in the afternoon and evening.  We offer the best prices in Playa del Carmen on scuba diving, and it's all located conveniently near downtown.
