Scuba Diving Mexico

Posted on November 21, 2020January 18, 2021 by Charles

Scuba diving is one of the most sought out experiences for tourists in Mexico. Mexico scuba diving is renowned just because it is fun, warm and the gulf allows for great views and underwater adventures. Mexico scuba diving is so rewarding because it brings the water to the person. It sort of combines sailing with fishing and those who go always have a blast viewing their favorite fish up close! Here are a few of the more popular scuba diving locations in Mexico:

Scuba Trip Yucatan Mexico

Scuba Cozumel

Cozumel is the top place in Mexico for scuba diving and it is located only 12 miles from the Yucatan Peninsula! Cozumel is mostly known for the beautiful reefs and distinct fish. Colorful reefs that spread for miles along the coastline of Cozumel are a great spot for scuba divers. It is almost like a whole different underwater world!

Scuba Cancun

Cancun is another hotspot on the Yucatan for scuba divers. Boaters and fishers join the scuba divers on the coast as they enjoy the activities and the warm gulf waters. Cancun is also big for tourists because it is host to numerous hotels and luxury stays. Divers in Cancun can choose from one of two main locations- Playa Del Carman and Chinchorro Banks. The Banks offer the second largest reef in the world (Australia’s Great Barriers Reef is the first) and both locations offer scuba divers beginning lessons and advanced routes.

Puerto Vallarta Scuba

Puerto Vallarta is a popular scuba diving location with various islands and bays that are in the vicinity. Tropical fish are seen all over the place in Puerto Vallarta and it is a great Mexico beach vacation.

With all of the great reefs that are available for Mexican tourists and locals, it would almost be a shame if people didn’t take advantage of the scuba diving adventures. Here are a few helpful tips that will guide you through a safe and exciting dive:

  • Get gear that fits! One of the most important things a scuba diver can do is get gear that fits. The scuba outfit that you choose should be tight-fitting yet forms fitting. Too loose of a scuba outfit will soon become waterlogged and heavy, too tight of an outfit will be uncomfortable and even painful. Make sure that your scuba fins fit well too- you don’t want to lose them if they are too loose!
  • Taking photos! If you plan on taking underwater photos of the things you see off the Mexico coast then you can– but make sure you are a decent scuba diver first! Many beginners think that they can take pictures easily but it takes an experienced diver to be able to handle both without becoming frustrated.
  • Monitor your air supply! If you want to be as prepared as possible you should be sure to monitor your air supply. The air you have in your tank will determine how far you can stay underwater so if you constantly check how much air you have on a regular basis you will be fine.

Enjoying your scuba diving vacation is all about preparation and location- have fun!
