Ocean diving in Cancun

Slip beneath the warm Caribbean and meet sea turtles, vivid corals, the MUSA Underwater Museum, and a World War era gunboat wreck, all without leaving the city. Departures from the Hotel Zone marina make it easy to dive and still be back in time to enjoy the rest of your day. I run small groups with SDI guides, and offer complimentary Nitrox for certified divers.
