Diving in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, a Tourists' Mecca

Playa Del Carmen was once a small and sleepy little coastal town
with spectacular beach views whose charms weren't discovered by
mainstream travel, a true unspoiled gem. Over time though, more
and more people were able to find this Yucatan Peninsula village
and it's become less and less of a hidden treasure and more like
a must see place for a great beach vacation.

Playa Del Carmen is located about 45 miles from Cancun and
couldn't be more different! The heart of Mexico's Mayan Riviera,
this tiny fishing village is now home to international
restaurants, unique small hotels and vacation rental homes.

Playa del Carmen has fantastic weather year round and its world
class diving brings tourists in from all around the world.

You'll find miles of white sand beaches with the turquoise
waters of the Caribbean Sea to the west and lush green jungle to
the east. There are so many watersports to do, lively nightlife,
great restaurants and all sorts of jungle activities.

Known to locals just as "Playa", having a location along the
second largest barrier reef in
the world, this dive destination is fast becoming a
popular spot for both beginner and experienced divers. There's
more than 15 dive sites in a 6 km radius and the boat rides are
short leaving tons of time for diving and relaxation.

What's really cool about diving in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico is
the vast and various amount of sea life that live among the
gardens of soft coral with visibility that can reach up to
30m/100ft.

If you want to try something really different, then try cave
diving in one of the many cenotes in the jungle. Cenotes are the
water-filled limestone sinkholes of the Yucatán. Playa is famous
for its underwater cave system and is a mecca for the world's
best cave divers. One thing is for sure, diving in Playa Del
Carmen, Mexico will be an experience never to be forgotten!
