Scuba Diving in Mexico
|
Description
One of the most popular and rewarding activities for any Mexico beach vacation is scuba diving Mexico. Scuba diving resources are abundantly available all along the Mexican coast with many of the popular resort towns offering great deals that combine scuba diving Mexico with accommodation and other travel plans. If you plan to include scuba diving Mexico in your Mexico beach vacation, read on for information on some of the more popular locations.
Great place to experience scuba diving, either as a novice or experienced diver in Mexico, is Cozumel. Located just 12 miles from the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, scuba diving Cozumel is known for the gorgeous reefs that stretch along its coast.
Apart from great shopping and exciting nightlife, Cozumel has an intricate underwater landscape that is one of the most beautiful in the world. Scuba diving Cozumel reveals a dazzling underwater world with cliffs, canyons and underwater vegetation. Friendly fish flock to these underwater paradises for food and travelers scuba diving Cozumel will have the chance to swim along side schools of angelfish and other sea life. Another thriving diving hotspot on the Yucatan is Cancun.
A Mecca for boating and fishing enthusiasts, scuba diving Cancun is also one of the most popular activities in the area. Nearly every hotel in Cancun will offer packages for scuba diving Cancun and for good reason. Divers may choose from one of two popular locations. The shallow and colorful reefs off Playa Del Carman is widely frequented, as is Chinchorro Banks, which offers access to the second largest barrier reef in the world (after Australia's Great Barrier Reef).
Scuba diving Cancun is a great choice for divers of every level. The city also offers plenty of other entertainment, such as visiting nearby Mayan ruins or just hanging out on the beach. One of the more popular scuba destinations for divers around the world is Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta scuba diving is a rare treat, as many of the nearby islands and bays, such as Los Arcos, Majahuitas.
The Marietas islands have been designated as protected underwater national parks. Between December and April, Puerto Vallarta scuba diving will likely offer views of humpback whales, as the mammals migrate to the warms seas off the coast each winter. Whale sharks, dolphins, sea turtles and a variety of tropical fish also make this safe haven their home. Puerto Vallarta scuba diving is a great adventure for anyone taking a Mexico beach vacation in the area. Although Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and Cozumel are some of the more famous spots for scuba diving, there are also some great spots off the coast of Cabo San Lucas and La Paz. Depending on the length of your Mexico beach vacation, you may want to take a day or two to explore all that diving has to offer. Day trips, as well as longer boating excursions, are widely available.
Winter is by far the best season for scuba diving, as the highest number of sea creatures will migrate to the warm waters of Mexico. If you plan to dive during this time, be sure to book ahead, as tours do fill up. Whether you'll be taking your first dive or your hundredth dive, the scuba diving Mexico offers is truly world-class.
