PLAYA del CARMEN --- Whale Shark and Cenote Specials with Yucatek Divers

Mexico's Yucatan -- Mexico's Yucatan Penninsula offers an immense variety of pleasures and adventures both above and below the sea. There are quaint Mexican villages lost in time, traditional markets with shoppers still in native dress, awe-inspiring Mayan historic sites spanning centuries of advanced culture, a fascinating diversity of flora and fauna.

Reef Diving, plus Cenotes -- Central to this intriguing region is the rapidly growing coastal city of Playa del Carmen, where divers may select from a variety of diving opportunities. In addition to Caribbean-style reef diving, you may enjoy the unique experience of cenote diving. Cenotes are fresh water caverns created when the roof of an underwater cave system falls in. The fresh water can be crystal clear, and it's accessible fun for sport divers as one never loses the sight of natural light.

Whale Sharks at Holbox -- Topping off the Playa del Carmen experience are whale sharks, the biggest fish in the ocean. Holbox Island is situated three hours north of Playa del Carmen at the very corner of the Yucatan Peninsula. Every year, from June to September, whale sharks pass in front of Holbox Island following the stream of plankton. Courtesy of Yucatek Divers, you can enjoy the unique experience of snorkeling with these amazing (and completely harmless) animals.
