Playa del Carmen has many amazing spots for scuba diving and even cave diving. Along the Great Mayan Reef, the second largest coral reef system in the world, you can dive among hundreds of multicolored fish and discover coral formations that have been around for more than 500 years. At the sinkholes (ponds connected to underground river systems) you can explore various caves and caverns full of stalagmite formations, allowing you to take insights of rare beauty that few people will have the opportunity to see. In Playa del Carmen you will enjoy watching wrecks teeming with fish and you will dive the way you like it, without feeling crowded or hurried.
"Cenotes", the largest underground river system in the world, are the main attraction for scuba divers visiting the Yucatan Peninsula. Centuries ago, rain water on its way to the Caribbean Sea formed cavities in the limestone by hollowing out caves, creating fantastic formations. When parts of the caves grew too large, their ceiling collapsed and cenotes and sinkholes were formed. Cenotes provide the best cave and cavern diving imaginable. With water as clear as the air the visibility is unbelievable as the diver glides through a color-filled fantasy world. The gentle current and mild water temperature around 75 C create a perfect underwater enviroment for divers of all levels.
Hi Natalia!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did it again!! We had a wonderful time diving.. We both felt that Gill and Gerard were the most professional dive masters we have had yet!! Seriously, I would recommend for you to send other divers to their shop... Their shop is separate from the hotel...I guess they bought it about a year ago, and are still fixing it up. They both were knowledgeable and professional. We also liked the hotel. Smaller than Cozumel but just as nice. The rooms were slightly smaller but the view was great. Almost like being in a tropical forest with trees and bushes with flowers...well thought out. We are so pleased with YOU and finding these great dive vacations!! Thanks again,

It is also a paradise for divers looking from freshwater Cenotes to endless offshore spur and and groove reef formation. The climate is subtropical with an annual average temperature of 90 F and sunny days throughout most of the year. Playa (as the locals call it) offers alluring white sand beaches, archeological zones and gorgeous ecological parks, such as Xcaret and Xe-la. After the sunset, in Quinta Avenida you'll thoroughly enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere in the discos, bars and lounges. Let Escape Barefoot Travel open the doors to a lively destination with an incredible underwater world!
