Best dive sites in Playa Del Carmen

[Kenny Spunk]

I am looking to arrange a 5 day 10 dive package incorporating Cozumel for at least one of the days.

What are the best sites to dive in both locations please.

I just got back from the Riviera Maya. My wife and I had a blast.

I would recommend the Tortuga Reef and Baracuda Reef. The Tortuga Reef has countless turtles and the Baracuda Reef has a large number of fish.

I would also go to the cenotes. This is some cool cavern diving. If you have never done this it is well worth the trip.

Some places also offer whale shark excursions. People snorkel with these fish, but it seems like a rare chance to see these creatures.

In Coz don't miss Punta Sur..advanced dive. For a shallow dive Palancar Horseshoe is fun.Call my buddies at Pelagic Ventures.

Do some cenote dives on the mainland with Dennis at Diablo Divers.

Off Holbox Island, you'll find whale shark swimming a pretty sure thing if you go the right time of year. I believe July into August is the best time. Holbox, by the way, is off the northern tip of Cancun.

Angelita and Cardina. (these are cool)

Cenotes, Barracuda Reef, and Tortuga Reef has already been mentioned. Take at least one of your days of diving to Cozumel!
