Diving for Certified Divers in and around Cancun

DIVING FOR CERTIFIED DIVERS IN AND AROUND CANCUN
Being on the edge of the Caribbean helps the whole eastern side of the Yucatan has some of the best diving in the world. Also the fact that there are no rivers in Yucatan dumping silt helps make Cancun and Cozumel both world-class diving resorts.

So what is the difference?
Diving in Cancun: Cancun diving is generally shallower than Cozumel diving. The bottom is more like rolling hills and in most areas literally covered with fish. Cancun is noted for great schools of fish of all types. Great diving can be had in Cancun.
Cozumel Diving: Cozumel is more noted for walls and panoramic views than Cancun. Massive coral heads 2 and 3 stories tall can be seen. The drop off at the Santa Rosa wall is an unforgettable sight.
Cancun or Cozumel, both are worthy of log entries in your dive log book. So don’t hesitate.
Cavern Diving: As if the there was not enough great diving in Cancun and Cozumel there is also the world’s largest cavern system make for some spectacular diving.
About our dives: We have a variety of dives available daily. Please see the chart below.

Do you offer beach dive? There is no beach diving or good safe beach snorkeling in Cancun.
CAVERN DIVING QUESTIONS	back to top
What is the difference between cavern diving and cave diving? "Cavern diving is defined as any dive conducted within the light zone of a cave. Cave diving is any dive conducted beyond the light zone of a cave. The light zone of a cave is defined as that part of the cave from which natural light illuminating the entrance is visible at all times." Also according to PADI "penetration dives are limited to within the light zone and within 40 meters/130 feet from the surface, vertical and horizontal distance included." The cenotes or caverns near Cancun do meet the PADI standard to be called Cavern Dives. We are beginners is a cenotes cavern dive for us? Absolutely. A cenote dive here in the Yucatan will be one of the highlights of your diving experiences. You will not forget it. Imagine going in a cavern with stalagmites and stalactites but you are in crystal clear water. When doing the cenotes diving do you use lines and reels? There are permanent lines in place in the caverns. You will not need additional lines or reels. Are diving lights supplied (or would we need to bring our own)? Dive lights are provided, but feel free to bring your own.
