Our local Caribbean waters that hold the worlds second largest barrier coral reef. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef stretches from the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula to Honduras. Colorful coral formations filled with vibrant sea life, fish in every size and color and shipwrecks surrounded by rays, all await your adventurous spirit. Our home base of Puerto Morelos has been under National Park protection since 1998 and as a result, the local reefs are very healthy with an abundance of creatures.

In the winter months, we are privileged to scuba dive with the pregnant Bull Sharks that visit Playa del Carmen to wait out the final weeks of their gestation. The summer months is the season when one can snorkel with the largest fish in the sea, the Whale Sharks. These genial giants are incredible to witness, it is a once in a lifetime experience! No matter when you decide to visit, there is plenty to see under the sea.

Cool, clear fresh water Cenotes, the underwater rivers of the Yucatan Peninsula, await to refresh your body and spirit. Flooded limestone caverns where jungle tree roots hang in curtains, stalactites and stalagmites, which formed when the caves were once dry and small fresh water creatures are the beauty of the cenotes. The play of light and water in the jungle setting is a sight not to be missed. Underwater caves excite the imagination and quicken one's pulse. Snorkeling and swimming in the Cenotes allow all types of visitors to enjoy the clear refreshing waters.

The infamous walls of Cozumel are an easy day trip from Puerto Morelos. The visibility in Cozumel is world renowned and worth the effort for the variety of life we encounter. Currents are strong at the wall, so these drift dives can be a challenging adventure!

Ancient Maya ruins offer a glimpse into one of the great civilizations of centuries past. Their vast knowledge of the natural world has not been lost. Quaint pueblos show how the Maya people have kept their colorful culture alive through millennia. Their practice of bush craft, agricultural self sufficiency and cultural interdependence in the community has kept their traditions alive.
