Scuba Diving in Akumal, Mexico
Continued from the first part
Cavern and cave diving is a popular activity for tourists. These caves are called "cenote", which means "sacred well" in Mayan. Dive packages offer several destinations and various depths of diving, group packages, equipment rental and instruction to satisfy varying diver needs. One of the easy dive sites which is very popular is Cuevas de Tiburones. This site features rock overhangs which provide an optimum sleeping area for nurse sharks. Las Redes offers an array of marine life, schools of fish, barracudas, stingrays, lobsters and sea turtles. Yal-ku is a unique feeding site chock full of Elkhorn coral structures, tunnels and lobster. Other popular shallow dives are found at Dick's Reef and Motorcycle Reef. Motorcycle Reef is named so for the 15-year-old motorcycle which is now covered with living coral and plankton that protects local sea life. Experienced divers can enjoy an afternoon at Tzimin-Ha, which features ruins from a 20-foot fishing boat wreck. Dives up to 100' deep are found at Trigger Fish, which is a favorite deep dive spot for locals. Here, huge patches of coral contrast with the sandy white bottom with many species of tropical fish providing a colorful array of rare beauty. Xaar Beach and Gonzalo's Reef offer various types of feeding areas for several different species of sea turtles for a once-in-a-lifetime diving experience. Xaar features reef fingers reaching 30' up from the ocean floor, as well as turtles, nurse sharks and stingrays. Gonzalo's Reef is known for its large and vivid reef fingers; visitors are virtually guaranteed a view of Hawksbill, Green, or Loggerhead turtles which use the area for feeding and playtime.- Acumal * Mexico * Yukatan Peninsular * scuba diving in Akumal, Mexico
