This is not your typical trip to Mexico! The trip will be led by Manuel "Caballito", a native of Tulum, Mexico, who currently resides in Seattle. Manuel has 20 years of experience diving and leading trips to the area. 
 
This trip is highly specialized to our group, there will be no rushed 'cattle boat' trips, no huge 'gringo' all inclusive resorts, no trips to the same Cenote that everyone visits.
 
Under the philosophy that dive travel should be able enjoying and supporting local businesses and cultures - not damaging them, wecaballito.jpg will be staying at environmentally conscious hotels & diving in a relaxed atmosphere with businesses that will support the local peoples, not huge foreign corporations.
 
We will have our own personal guide, an expert in the local area both above and below the water - who is available 24hrs a day to answer questions....   and who deals with ALL the local travel logistics! You don't have to figure out how to get your dive gear to the boat, or to the Cenotes, or how to buy tickets for the ferry from Cozumel to the mainland - you just have to show up, dive, relax and have a GREAT week!
 
Trip presentation:

About Cozumel Diving:walldive.jpg
The diving around Cozumel consists of mostly drift diving, with incredible underwater pinnacles, walls and canyons lined with coral. It is one of the better known dive spots in the world. The expansive reefs serve as home to sea turtles, nurse sharks, hundreds of species of fishes, corals, sponges. 
 
About Playa del Carmen
 
A paradise in the caribbean... Playa del Carmen is home to alabaster beaches, beautiful coral reefs, warm water, gentle surf and peaceful vacations. Less visited than Cozumel, Playa del Carmen certainly is equal in beauty, but is much more peaceful.
 
Ocean Diving:playawreck.jpg
The diving around Playa is warm and wonderful! Leaving from Playa you will have access to the great Mayan barrier reef, the 2nd largest in the world. This area is home to a variety of large fauna such as sea turtles, morays, puffer fish... down to the tiny Christmas tree worms and their reef relatives. Beautiful sea life in crystal clear waters and the water temperature is a warm a balmy ~ 80 degrees in the summer, so you can leave the drysuit at home!
 
Cenote Diving: cenoteentrance.jpg
The Cenotes or Mayan caverns are a unique feature to this part of the world. Giant underwater limestone caverns with huge stalagmites and stalagtites, formed out of the minerals that filter through the porous ground of the area, filled with pure, filtered freshwater. No prior cavern diving experience or certification is necessary to do these dives.
