REEF

Tulum has several calm, shallow dive sites that are perfect for recreational training or a guided tour. Just a 10 min boat ride from the shore, this is the fastest way to explore the Mesoamerican Barrier reef!

Student divers on both the Open Water and Advanced courses will enjoy gliding over soft corals and cruising around rock arches surrounded by thriving fish and invertebrate populations.

Centrally located between Tulum and Cancun, Playa de Carmen offers the thrill of drift diving while navigating reefs and wrecks. Dive sites often host large pelagic species (sharks, rays, and turtles) because of the strong current of the Gulf Stream. 

November-February there is also an opportunity to dive with bull sharks, as large numbers of pregnant female bull sharks occupy the warm coastal waters around the city!

This island off the coast of Quintana Roo is home to Cozumel Reefs National Park, a UNESCO protected area. Teeming with fish, sponge, crustaceans, and coral, the reef in Cozumel is worthy of any diver’s bucket list. 

The strong Gulf Stream current will push you peacefully along the dive site, as you drift by with little fin work required. 

*Tour time is 8-10 hours due to distance from Tulum.
