Mexico is the place to explore, immerse and enjoy the underwater world.
Mexico’s western coast and Yucatan Peninsula are some of the most dynamic and popular destinations offering the perfect mix of diving opportunities, shopping, cultural experiences and adventure.
Home to two beautiful coastlines, Mexico’s seascape awaits, a paradise on earth for divers that will not disappoint. Known as the United States of Mexico, it is its own country situated in the southern region of North of America. Encircled by a plethora of rich seas abundant with marine life, caves, reefs, and lands steeped in history it really should be on every traveller’s bucket list. On the Caribbean side, warm tropical waters offer divers thriving reef ledges, drop-offs, a wide variety of marine life and just a short trip away the breath-taking underwater museum of Musa where you can marvel at an array of underwater Statues. Just of the east coast you will find the island of Cozumel, another outstanding diving destination and the beautiful infamous freshwater Cenotes. As well as the bustling town Playa Del Carmen, known for its pedestrianised Quinta Avenida which runs parallel to its palm tree lined white sandy beach littered with trendy shops, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Switch to the west side of the country and the Pacific Ocean is cut off by the fascinating peninsula of Baja California, home to the splendid Sea of Cortez, here divers can experience schools of hammerhead sharks, sea lion colonies and mating grey whales. Enjoy a liveaboard trip out to Guadalupe to experience some Great White diving, or The Socorro’s Island for Galapagos sharks, Humpback whales and Mantas depending on the season!
